Glove box lock

chengny · 10-18-2009, 07:37 AM

Think we've been through this before but, does anyone know how to remove the lock set from the glove compartment so I can paint it?

It's in my lap right now. Any help?

should just be an external C clip holding it.

what year? 80's right?

Yes. The 81-87 group (up till 91 if Suburbans are incl). Never mind - the boy just got it!

He's saying it was threaded together - through the hole. The shiny silver twist knob on the outside and the face of the cylinder up against the plastic liner. I'll take a picture - you never know, someone might do a search someday. And there is always the very real possiblity that I will forget how it goes back together and require guidance.
