Default 78 Glove box problem

I am replacing the lock on my glove box and (this is embarrassing) I can't get the old lock off. I am afraid I am going to break something. I can take the new lock apart with no trouble.

I get this glove box lock and then see things in my car that don't look new and then order more parts - $406 this last time

If you dont like doing it that way, go the top of forum page and you will see "search this forum". Type in glove box lock and there are other threads you can read.

Good luck.
