From Elliott Wolin who ran into a similar problem:
... the radio was stuck; the removal tool did not work on the left side. The problem was that the internal metal locking tabs on the left side of the radio partially broke. I had to remove the panels below the steering column and reach in and depress what was left of the locking tab mechanism from the left side with a shorty flat-head screwdriver. Then I inserted a thin rod into the hole in the front of the radio to keep the depressed tab in place, first the top one, then the bottom. This was not particularly easy.
by using the Ford radio removal horseshoe tools. Takes a couple of seconds.
You can switch the traction control system off using the switch to the left of the radio on a 2000 Ford Windstar
Remove the ashtray, then remove the screws behind it. Carefully pry the plastic molding off (that surrounds the radio) using only fingertip power. Remove 4 screws holding the radio in.
To remove the radio in a 1995 Toyota Corolla, first pry the radio frame from the dashboard using a flat tool like a screwdriver. Then, press in on the pins at each side of the radio and slide it out of the dashboard. Remove the wires from the back of the radio.
First of all, I wouldn't remove the dash. The factory radio is removed using radio removal tools available at your local parts store. I would remove the radio and work through the opening to do whatever wiring you need to do. In fact, there may not be much wiring either. Your local parts store or car sterio store also has wiring harness conversion kits that will adapt the factory radio connectors right to your radio/CD player.
Remove the 2 gray side panels on the left and right of radio using a dash removal tool. There are 4 screws holding the radio in, remove them and set them aside. Carefully pull out the radio and then remove the the antenna adapter and harness from the back of the radio.
Remove ground cable. Using a prying tool, gently pry outward and remove the trim bezel. Unfasten the mounting screws holding the radio. Pull outward and remove the wiring harness and antenna lead from back of radio, remove radio from car. In stall in reverse order.
Follow the next steps: 1.- Remove the plastic cover surrounding the radio.. You can do it either with your bear hands or using the right tools (wich I recommend) do it carefully, if you bend it too hard it will brake. There is no screws you need to remove on that plastic cover. 2.- There are 4 screws (milimetric head) which hold the Radio/CD player attached to the frame. 3.- Unplug the harness, power cord and antenna. Voila! you are done!
If you have one of the factory units, there are 4 small holes near the corners. Using a pair of special radio removal tools (one for each side; readily available from any auto parts store for a noiminal price) which insert into these holes and release the locking clips holding the unit in the dash. You can then angle the tools outward (toward the outside of the car) slightly and pull the radio/cd player out. You can also make your own version of the tools from heavy, stiff wire (a heavy coat hanger works) bent into a "U" shape. But the coathanger is a bit harder - the radio tools have small hooks cut into the ends to grab the radio and make it much easier to remove.
You format the drive that is infected and start again. THAT is why they MAKE tools and downloads to remove viruses so you don't lose everything on your drive.
Try using tools...if that doesn't work, crowbar
