Default Lower glovebox removal....not so simple

OK I know this is suppose to be quick and easy so maybe I'm missing something. After opening the lower glove box door on my 95 LS, I removed the 3 screws, I also removed the lower cover underneath by pulling it straight out, now what? I know there is something still anchoring the box down but I can't find it and I don't want to force anything. Any suggestions and/or pics that will help? Thanks in advance.

there's 2 nuts that need to be removed

One behind the glove box on the left side, there's small cover plastic cover you need to remove to access it in the back of the glove box.

The other one is on the far right just under where the trim ends, you need to lower your head to look under the dash you will see it it's just where the door close.

I ended up snapping the one in the back without realizing until I got the glove box off.

Thanks so much Ichouinard for the prompt reply, I did locate the one on the lower right, I'll search for the one on the left in the rear, I assume I access it with the door open is that correct? Thanks again.

Yes open the glovebox and remove that insert in the back and you will see the bolt.
