Re: Back to lock removal

If you mean the long retainer clip for the outside handle, about the only way is to get it from the inside. Remove the inner door panel and lower window stop to drop the window past the normal bottom point a tiny bit to avoid chipping anything. You can get a long screwdriver or something similar and while it won't be a straight shot, you can get to the end to drive the retainer out from behind. If the end of the clip was already broken, will probably be rusted and a P.I.A so dose it liberally with PB blaster or similar and let it soak.

Here is a shot of the ign lock. It's held in by 2 pins that lock in tabs in the bezel. Hold the bezel against the dash in front then from behind, push the ign switch against the spring and bezel and twist slightly to the left (looking from behind) to line up the pins with the slots.
NOTE: You won't have the copper part in the setup in the second picture. That is an old picture of another little project I did making a piece to repair bezels with broken tabs.

Will have to look at the glove box lock tomorrow and refresh the memory unless someone posts that method before then.
