I feel stupid asking this but does anyone know how to change the lock cylinders on the glove box for the S13? My stock door has a busted handle and I have a spare door, but I need to swap the lock over so I can lock the thing. I've got a convertible and it's the only secure storage in the car.

Any assistance would be great. I'd like to do this swap this week while the weather is good.

I'd probably just start taking your busted one apart and practice on it. I would imagine there's a couple screws on the back side that hold the 2 halves together.
Maybe there's something in the FSM?

I've had the latch out. The cylinder itself seems installed in a protective shell iirc (it's been a few years) and isn't just a "pull it out" deal.
