YOU'LL NEED TO BUY A RADIO REMOVAL TOO. THAT'S JUST A SKINNY U-SHAPED ROD YOU INSERT INTO THE TWO HOLES ON EACH SIDE OF THE RADIO. IT COST BETWEEN 3 AND 5 DOLLARS AT ANY PARTS STORE. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PULL THE RADIO RIGHT OUT. IF IT DOESN'T COME LOOSE RIGHT AWAY YOU'LL HAVE TO USE SOME MORE FORCE. THERE'S THIS PLASTIC PART ON THE BACK THE HOLDS THE RADIO IN PLACE AND IT SLIDES ALONG ON A TRACK OVER THE RADIO. SO THAT MIGHT SIT A LITTLE TIGHT. I HAD TO PULL MINE OUT QUIET HARD AND WIGGLE IT A LITTLE TOO. AND WHEN YOU PUT IN A NEW RADIO YOU'LL HAVE TO ATTACH THE PLASTIC PIECE TO THE NEW RADIO WHICH IS NO BIG DEAL. GOOD LUCK THOMAS

make your own tool out of a coat hanger bend 2 in u shape so they fit in eack side of radio holes push in till you feel a bit of resistance and pull with both u shape tools wiggle back and forth the clips will release letting radio come out 1 inch then pull with hands until you can disconnect wiring harness and antennea

its easy, with the car off and the emergency break on, put the gear shift all the way in D2 and pop the wood trim off. it wont break if you are gentile. take out the 2 bolt screws holding the controll panel, i believe theyre 8mm in and it will slide rite out. then get the pull rails for Ford factory radios and pull it out. should take 10 min max.

There are two holes on the left and right face of the radio .. you need a tool to insert into the holes and push back the retaining clips inside and the radio will pull straight out...

You have to remove the wood trim that goes along the instrument cluster. Then the screws will be exposed and you can pull the radio out.

You need the tool that fits the two holes on both sides of the radio, a couple of bucks at a car parts store.
