I guess file this under general garage skill but Porsche-related.
67 911 and I canNOT get this split nut off to remove/rekey the glovebox lock. Pic stolen from the internet as it best shows the nut in question. I just can't find anything that will get enough "bite" Asking here rather than other 911-centric boards since we're a bit more "hands-on"... Thanks! Brian  |

The snap ring does not facilitate removing the nut and lock tab. It just holds the lock cylinder in place. I've removed literally hundreds of them with just a straight screwdriver.
