How do you remove a 6 disk CD player from a 2001 Ford Ranger?

Answer 1

Ford radio/cd removal:

There is a special tool that goes in the little holes you see in each side or the faceplate that depresses a clip inward toward the cd player body so the player may be pulled out. You can get it out without the tool by using two small stiff metal rods on one side at a time, and when you meet resistance try pushing outward on the rods (towards the sides of the car) to push the clips in the direction of the cd body while pulling it out. Repeat on the other side. It takes patience and it helps if you can see one already removed to see what I mean.
