I am sure it is pretty simple, but I haven't figured it out yet. How do you remove the key cylinder from the glove box door?

Thanks,

Tom

There is a single philips head screw on the back of the door. Take that screw out,slide the cylinder and latch forward and voila.

Keith,

I had the door off the car. I just held the back of the lock cylinder and turned the outer trim ring and it came right off. I did not have the key in the lock.
