glove box

I recently purchased a new glove box door for my 01' f150. I then realized that I needed a special tool. I have used something to keep the light off until I figure out how to use this "special" tool.
Please advise

umm.... no. all you have to do is pull the 2 clips together at the top, the box will fall all the way forward, then you pull it up from the bottom. they have arc-hinges at the bottom.

i took mine out a couple years ago... seems like a phillips screwdrive for the door and maybe a pair of pliers ? The latch or light might be a little extra.
