How to remove the drawers from a Matco MB944

[Ntrouble]

This has me stumped. I can't find any kind of lever or bracket that holds the ball bearing slides together. Anyone have experience with this type slide? The friction slides are easy. But the ball bearing glides are another story. Thanks.

Look inside the drawer. On the front of each side of the drawer is a Phillips head screw. Look below the screw and you will see a lip on the slide. Remove the screws and you can lift the drawer off of the front lip of the slide and slide it to the rear of the box to disengage the rear lip. The slides do not come apart.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot in a little while.

Yep, it was lots easier than i was expecting. Just unbolt the drawer and slide it out of the "keepers". Thanks!

It's a lot easier with empty drawers.

Hi there, I know this is an old post but I have a question for you. I just picked up a very large Matco toolbox with the same exact drawer slides.
Those little plastic nylon cross looking things are pretty much disintegrated on mine, what kind of purpose do those things serve? The drawer seems to work just fine without them, just wanted to know if it was something really important? Also, I would like to remove the drawers on mine as well, so all you have to do is remove the screws and pull it away from the keepers? Thanks a lot.

That looks like the drawer stop. On the slides where they are disintegrated, are the drawers loose? Or do they stay put when you push them in?
