Hi All
The handle on my glove box failed; the plastic lug at the back that opens the latch when the handle is pulled snapped off at the base. Anyway, managed to get another one on e bay that will arrive shortly. It will arrive with lock but without key. No big deal as I never locked it anyway but it would obviously be nice to switch over the old lock tumbler into the replacement handle / latch.
It looks like the lock tumbler is held in by a brass spring clip / circlip but it is not accessible from the outside, in terms of pulling it to one side to let the tumbler fall out. Is it the case that a gentle punch from the back will push the lock out of the clip?
If anyone has made this changeover their guidance on how to do it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
