First remove the under dash cover. Also remove the cover under the steering column.
Next remove the lower trim panel, the panel in front of the radio. To remove it:
Remove the glove box. Then reach up through the back of the dash and remove the 5 push nuts from the trim panel. Unbolt the fuse block from under the dash, there are 2 screws to the lower dash and 1 screw into the ashtray slide. Remove the ashtray and unbolt the remaining 4 screws holding the slide in place.

Next use a flat head screw driver find the slit in the headlight knob and use the screwdriver to release the knob and remove it. Next use a screw driver to take the nut off of the headlight switch shaft.
There are tabs on each end of the panel, they slide into the metal dashboard. Pull gently on the center of the panel flexing it out towards you. This will cause the end tabs to pull out of the dashboard ends. BE VERY CAREFUL TO AVOID DAMAGE to the end tabs. They are what hold the ends in place, it will be very floppy without them.
Once the tabs are out reach behind the panel and unplug the rear window defogger if there is one. CAREFULLY work the panel away from the steering column and put it out of the way.
Remove the 3 screws that hold the radio in place. Carefully pull the radio out so you can unplug the antenna and then unplug the wiring connectors. Take note of how they come off.
To install the radio basically reverse the removal process.
