2001 radio removal help

HELP!!!!



OK I'm new to this (2001 Trac) and I want to replace my oem radio...

I've taken out the 2 screws underneath the radio and tried to use 2 coat hanger-like wires to free the side clips, but to no avail...what do I need to do to get that darn radio out?

PLEASE!

thanks, Tom

Go to autozone or any other auto store most likely, and look for the radio din removal tool, its like $5.

I didn't need one to remove my 2001 head unit.

Ok.. no need for the Removal tool to get the whole radio Bezel out. Remover the 2 Screws out, make sure none of the knobs are hitting anything when you pull out on the bezel. and the whole thing should slide out.



there are 4 metal clips that just slide into holes in the dash that are pretty snug. but you should not break anything with a good tug.

See pic for the back side of the bezel

The Removal tool makes it so you can slide the radio out of the bezel.





Hope this helps.
