Does anyone know how the lock comes out of the glove box door?

I remember taking out a roll pin, but that may have been in the latch. I think I turned the handle to the left separating it from the back piece.

I seem to remeber a small screw holding a bracket in.....I need to go look!?!?!?

Here's some pics from mine, it's a non locking knob:
the arrows show the piece you have to depress to let it pop out.
