How do I separate the metal cover from the glovebox? I have already removed the glove box lock but having a lot of trouble separating the two main pieces

You're on the right track. You already got the hard part, it took me a while to figure out the latch. Looks like you're just a little crooked, it may be pinched. Mine slid right out, although it was tight

Keep working it, you're heading in the correct direction. The plastic or metal may be a little messed up making it hard to get them apaer - but you're doing ti right.

Use a small screwdriver to push in on this small tab. Cylinder then pulls straight out

Good Luck! Mine was so corroded I bought a new one and cut the old one in half with a cut off wheel.
YMMV
