I purchased a new glove box lock and key (for '53) so that I could lock the glove box. My manual does not describe how to replace the lock. I have inspected the new one and do not see any apparent method of removing the old one or reinstalling the new one. Help!

There were two types of retainers for the glove box lock. Is yours like the first ones shown in these pics? If so, there have been a few Stovebolt threads about removing that type. I can search if you need, or an owner of that type may post an reply.

The second type is pretty straight forward.

Thanks to all for the quick help.. Mine was the type where you remove the rear screw. I didn't remove it before asking for help because I was afraid that the springs and pins would fall out if I did. Removing the rear screw was the trick.
Thanks
John
