I'm new at this myself. Do a search. I saw a thread about just that topic.....sorry I could not find it again. I know there is a small hole in the back that u have to put a pin or something in to remove it..the key has to be inas well. I think you turn the key to open it and with the pin in it will come out.. But not sure. Mine had the same prob. for now I just wedged a tiny piece if sheet metel unde it and it's tight....Hack... :'(... not much help..

Many thanks, I remember having to do the paper clip thing on the sterring colum but that was on a 68 chevell and tried to on the glove box but couldnt find the little hole, the link that you provided is what i needed. I might suggest a tip to others about the info that we find and recieve here. copy and past in my documents creat a file just for your car and then its easy to find later. not trying to be a know it all, just thought it may help forgetfull people like me  ;D

the link proved to work, thanks John Z. I found a square nut to fit in the opening and screwed it on to a bolt with another nut and locked them together, worked great!
