c'mon... anybody help me out here?
My centre console is all disassembled, I just need to get this glovebox off!

Do I remove the 4 screws that are visible when you open the glovebox? (If so HOW?!? there is no room to play with)

OR

Do I remove the 2 screws UNDER the glovebox? please say this isnt it because I tried this and those things must have never been removed because they arent turning

I was hoping you wouldnt say that.
Last time the glovebox came off we used air tools to screw everything back in and those 2 screws are in TIGHT. Im trying my best to get them out but I dont want to strip the screws.

Now that the glovebox is hanging down, do I need to completely REMOVE it to get to the inlet for the HVAC?

Yes you are going to have to remove the glovebox as well as the blower motor/box to get to the air inlet for the HVAC. I would suggest you get a service manual to help you out.

What kind of a ******* idiot uses air tools to tighten bolts, nuts or screws on the interior of his car?!? That might be the dumbest thing I've read on this site in a while.

i hate air tools too many people are air tool happy.. too many bolts and wholes get destroyed by them damn things. especially with us amateurs using them. air tools okay to take off but use ur man power to put **** on.. how about that ...

I agree... I came back to may car and caught him using the air tools. I freaked on him and he just bitched saying it was easier. That was the last ime I ever went back to that shop.
