Default Glove Compartment Lock Cylinder

Can someone tell me how to remove the lock cylinder from my 1978 glove box so that I can tighten the nut that holds it in. Thanks

Thanks Duke,

I tried to find that post and failed. I have the pics to do a help and repair on this but keep pushing it back. Guess I need to finish it up.
