Pop one out, very gently pull it from the base up. Will either come out by its self or all 3 will...

Risque. Not risky...

Your instructions read in quite the indecent way.

I pop it up then pull from the very bottom of it, as that's where they are strongest... So less force is used.

Doesn't the whole cassette unit just pullout and theres a screw underneath a tab under the cassette holder? Off to read my Haynes as its been years since I owned a mk1.

edit: nothing in my Haynes about it.

I have to gen 80s tapes then i opened and removed all the tape crap out and fitted usb keys in to them. So they fit the tape pop up bits but have a 30gig usb in each...

If its a mk1 console jut lift up the flat (console coloured) plate in front of the tape holders, all 40r5 should just lift out. They only stay in by their own weight really. If its a mk2, you just need to prise them out iirc.

Tape holders were a prime OEM upgrade bitd, a fantastic upspeccing to my 1.2L, then it had a 3speed interior fan, inertia reel seatbels, rear wash-wipe & tape holders. Epic!
