Is the glovebox lock on your General Motors car or truck acting up?
If your car has a glove box lock (as found on most mid-70s through late-80s GM vehicles), it probably needs-at minimum-a good cleaning.
Maybe the lockring is loose and the mechanism is now rattling and you want to tighten it.
Or you just need to install a new one.
Whatever the reason, in this video I show you in detail the steps necessary to properly remove the lock tumbler without breaking any small parts.
You will need a very small flathead screwdriver to press the tumbler pins. Alternatively, a paper clip, straightened so you can push the pins, will also work.
And you will also need a hex wrench large enough to fit the inside of the lockring or, as I explain and show in the video, a pair of short needle nose pliers will get the job done.
General Motors used the same glovebox lock for vehicles of the 1970s throughout the 1980, maybe even the early 90s. These included passenger cars by Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Cadillac.
In addition to passenger cars, the same locks were used in Chevy and GMC vans and pickup trucks, including Suburban, C-10, Silverado, Blazer, and Jimmy, among other models.
I hope you find the video helpful.
Thank you for watching! 🙂👍🏻
