I would appreciate any tips on how to remove the cylinder/lock from the glove compartment latch.
The glove box latch was broken by a thief. A replacement glove box latch was easily obtain from Mazda ($15) and only requires three screws for installation (easily accessible from the inside of the glove box). However the new latch did not come with a cylinder/lock and I would like to move the old cylinder/lock to the new latch assembly.
I have removed the plastic cover from the front of the installed cylinder/lock as well as the white plastic that covers the rear of the assembly, but I am clueless about how to remove the cylinder itself. There appears to be a small metal tab on the back of the cylinder the is under the delicate cam that engages the lock. I am so close, but missing the final piece to this puzzle... Where do I go from here??
As always, your replies are much appreciated. Thank you.
