Is the glovebox open or closed? - If it's closed I'm sure there's a video on youtube of how to open it..

To remove the old one simply unscrew the 3 screws on the inside and the whole thing will seperate/drop out

The new one goes back in the same way!

That's a fair price! I used to be able to get £20 for them.

LOL at this thread!
Mine has just broken on the way home... went to put the HU back in and snap :(
The handle has snapped off which has also taken the mechanism with it :@
 Guess i'll be looking for a new one!
