Sometimes you need to remove the cylinder from the glove box lock but you don't have the correct key. It can still be removed with a little patience and the following information.
Use an old lock pickers trick to remove the cylinder from a latch when you don't have the proper key.
Use your latch key or any other key that will insert into the lock cylinder but won't turn. (Correct key blank but wrong cut)
Insert the key all the way into the cylinder.
While applying some pressure counterclockwise on the key in the unlock direction, rapidly move the key in and out of the cylinder about half of its length that is inside the lock. This will exercise the tumblers up and down and after a short while they will all catch on the side of the hole and the key will turn. Then just proceed with the instructions for removing the cylinder from the latch.
I have yet to find a cylinder I couldn't remove this way in just a minute or two. Much easier than drilling,
Thanks to Mc_Reatta, member of the Reatta forums, for this information.
