[wisewood]

car thief method... slim screwdriver in each side, and prize it out...
thats how i did it. careful not to warp the dash.

The Haines manual reads something along the lines of...

'Remove the radio/cassette by the use of 2 U-shaped special tools placed in each of the two small hole either side of the panel - available from any good car accessory retailer. Alternatively, use 2 lengths of strong wire.'

hmmm, fuck it! Screw driver it is then lol!

Haynes Manual seems to love the ol' bit of wire with a loop at the end - need to remove window winder handle, front air grills or exhaust? The wire it is! Well except the last one...

The wire it is! Well except the last one...

should hope not either! id be pissed if someone ran off with my s/s exhaust using a length of coathanger!!!!!!!1

[malton2bad]

they are some clips you can buy from halfords to remove it with out damage or it my be screwed in to the back of it so there for you will have to undo all the plastic cover pal

hope this helps :P

i love it when the Haynes manual says fashion your own tool - you know you will never succeed in the task that you are trying to do. :D

[tomasti]

yeah! lol, mint!

I'm gonna be swapping mine for a nice new Sony CD soon :D , so i'll probably invest in those clips. Better safe than sorry :?
