I had to remove the drawer to replace the sliders. First check to see if the sliders have a release that will allow you to pull the drawer out. It will be a small latch on the edge of the slider. If you do not have this you will have to remove the drawer front to give more access. It is held by six large self tapping screws and a couple of rivets. The rivets can be drilled out and the drawer front replaced without them. The T handle just pulls out of the locking mechanism. This may give you enough access to work. If not, you will have to remove the 4 bolts holding the drawer pan frame in place. They have allan heads and aircraft unlock nuts on the bottom. With those removed you can pull the entire drawer assembly )drawer sliders, drawer pan, drawer mounting frame out to work. If the sliders are questionable you should probably replace them while you have the guts out of the vehicle.
