: What is secret to glove box lock removal on '69

Does anyone have a combination for removing the glove box lock on a '69? The outer portion on my lock (chrome or stainless piece) is missing. I do have a complete lock from a '68 that I could use if I can figure out to remove/reinstall the chrome piece without tearing it up. Ideas? Thanks...

Gene, thank you very much....one picture or several is worth a thousand words. Again thanks.....I am sure I would have torn the thing up trying to get it out.

Gene's link is the "killer app" when it comes to the glove box lock change. It should be made into a "Tech Reference" topic here. By the way, how many of you actually have gloves in that thing?

Thanks for the feedback. I have also created a pdf file of that page (Click Here) (http://personal.riverusers.com/~mcphelps/Glovebox.pdf)to make it easier to view/print offline, if anyone is interested. Note that you the Acrobat Reader from Adobe (free at www.adobe.com (http://www.adobe.com) ) to view/print it.
