Plan B–-

I could not remove the glove box with the heater in place. I did push and warp on the top of the disconnected glove box to the point where I dislodged it , allowing me to get a peek on the hinge screw heads.
That got me thinking…
I found that I could wiggle my skinny left forearm up between the heater box and the firewall while sitting on the running board , and I got my fingers on the machine head of those screws. I then went through all of my tool boxes and came up with 3 socket extensions totaling 20”. With my daughter manning (per se) the ratchet I was able to locate the socket onto the head while she turned it loose a few clicks at a time. The upper fastener was really challenging.

I spent most of the afternoon on 4 fasteners, but my hinges are loose.
