Glove Box Lock

I am in the process of redoing the veneer on my dash. I have everything out and striped down, but I cannot figure out the lock on the glove box door. From the back with the chrome cover off I can get to a bezel type of nut. It loosens, but ends up getting blocked by the rest of the mechanism before coming off. There must be a trick that I am missing.

Re: Removing glove box lock

Have you tried with the key in the lock ?
Move it around a little for alignment of the inner parts

Re: Removing glove box lock

I figured it out. A very well hidden set screw on the front side. Loosening allows the bezel to be backed off completely.
