Welcome to the forum, Cruiser
GLOVE BOX DOOR/HINGE

REMOVAL
one. Remove the outer fairing.
2. To access glove box door fasteners, pull out spiral cap cover below hinge.
iii. Property locknuts at front end of inner fairing, loosen hinge screws (T25 TORX).
4. Hold glove box door airtight every bit swivel screws are completely removed. If not held closed, door volition pop open as leap loaded swivel is released and door may exist
dropped to the floor.
five. If hinge replacement is necessary, remove plastic barrels to release hinge from door.

INSTALLATION
one. Place jump inside swivel inserting spring pin into closest hole. With roll and i spring pin positioned inside
hinge, second spring pivot is outside.
2. Place swivel into position capturing costless stop of external bound pivot between ribs molded into glove box door.
3. Install plastic barrels to hold hinge in door. Slot in barrel prevents interference with spring pin installed between ribs of door. Push barrels in until tight.

NOTE
Install new glove box door bumpers in inner fairing if damaged or missing. Insert tail of safety bumper into hole, and moving to front of inner fairing, pull anchor through pigsty.

4. Place glove box door into position against inner fairing. Property locknuts (with flat washers) at front of inner fairing, tighten hinge screws (T25 TORX).
v. To conceal glove door fasteners, snap screw cap cover into place below hinge.
half-dozen. Install the outer fairing.
Thank you. Yeah I already institute that post. It didn't give any info on removing the door. In the mean fourth dimension I figured out how to get the door off without removing the whole fairing. I'll effort to notice a replacement spring since none of the Hd dealers I've been to seem to have whatever info on information technology.
Thanks over again.
Hey Chopper, thanks. Expert info. That'll assist. I assume this spring is stainless.
