Great video, after watching it, it took about three minutes to tighten the hex and install the lock. Thanks!

The first pin is the only one that you have to push in with a pick or screwdriver. The next four are tumblers that are pushed in by the key. Hold the latch closed to take the spring tension off the lock cylinder. Push the first pin in and pull the knob out until the cylinder stops at the second pin. Insert the key. You may have to wiggle it a bit. Pull the knob to remove the cylinder. It should basically fall out under its own weight if you have it pointed down. To reassemble it, insert the key into the cylinder, hold the latch closed, push the cylinder in, and remove the key..

That makes a ton of sense, so I’ll give it a try if I ever need to. Thanks for taking the time to share this tip! 😊👍🏻

🤠Fantastic . . . . . Glad I'm not the only one who sat like a "village idiot" trying to get the lock out of the glove box. Thanks!

Once you clean the lock, do you apply a light oil to it? Just to keep springs and clips intact. I love these videos. This is how everyone can improve their cars on your own, many times for minimal cost. Corvettes are crucified foe rattles on the interior. Little things like this keep that in check.

Yes, a squirt of WD-40 or graphite lube never hurts 😊👍🏻
