Glove box door lock replacement...
 

Would anybody know what the safest way to remove a glove box door lock tumbler would be?:confused:

I have been trying to swap out the lock on a used door I purchased and I'm not having much luck. I really want to avoid breaking the plastic enclosure it's in.

Thanks,
GC

Did it!!!!!
 

Figured it out, just had to be very carefull.:)

I e-mailed GC about this post.

I am doing the same thing on my 1982 300TD and cannot figure how to release the tumbler and install it into the new (used) glove box dorr I have.

Anyone know how to do this.

The lock may be removed by compressing the camswith pliers. Note that the top face of the lock is marked "OBEN".

Good luck!!
