I know there are pliers available that will do the job...I just didn't have them and I was impatient tonight.

So now I need to find a new handle before I sell my old glovebox to anybody. There is a part number on it, I will have to see if I can order it and fix it up.

So...if you're swapping your lock...BE CAREFUL!
Patience is SUCH a virtue!
