How do I change the glovebox lock and latch.

I want to take it off so I can prep it for paint. I noticed there is a little hole in the center of the little latch handle. Do I stick a pin in there and it releases it from the backside? I guess there is no lock so don't know why I put that in the title.

Re: How do I change the glovebox lock and latch.

For non-key lock latches:
Latch the latch with the glove box door open.
Use a straightened paperclip in the top hole (the hole pointing at the passenger door with the glove box open) to push and release each of the tumblers one by one as you slowly remove the cylinder assembly.
Unscrew the round piece from the outer side of the glove box door.
