Glove box locks

This may seem like a basic question,but...... how do you remove the lock from the lid?

Also, which lock suits which model? (chrome ones and black ones?)

you will notice that i dont bother recognising the changover bits in early hz coz i really dont think its that relavent and just confuses people..

It is important to people like me doing an anal build on a hz gts lol.

I believe it was a change with an ADR. I will look it up. ;)

So....... how do you remove them?:errf:

ok...from now on i wont ignore the facts...

...

now i am wondering wether this may be one of those plant specific things or a supplier thing as i cant see what relevance an adr change would make..
jason go looking for the part number changes on the ignition barrel and the top ignition pot/housing and the glove box lock as they all relate to each other..
as a matter of interest i went out to my steering column shed to look for early type ignition housings in hx/hz and i had very few but i have heaps of late model hz/wb..
