Thread: Radio/Cassette/CD Head unit

i had the same problem with our ford so i made some tools up out of bronze welding wire

Dude ,I broke a hacksaw blade in half , then used the bench grider and file the teeth off into you can push it into the slots and at the end make a hook ,so you can pull the radio out ,them into the slots , I think it's up or down instill one side comes out ,then the other side the same way , but watch the first side as it will go back in.. hmmm why I did this Autoban wanted $40 bucks to do this , cheers4now alex

get a metal coat hanger and cut 2 lengths. Bend each one into a 2 pronged fork these prongs slip into the 2 small holes on each side of the unit until they click......pull whole unit out in one go, simple

Ah.....didn't even know that system existed, best of luck and hope you get it sorted okay.

Some one on the disco2.com site has used file hangers. (the metal bits off the cardboard folder). They apparently pushed in ok. When the radios out check the fit, and make proper tools.

What a star, by jove - it worked a treat, thanks awfully.

I need to remove the radio as I am going to fit a Dashboard top pod to hold the extra 'toys'

Thanks again to all.
