CD player Removal

[94stangfan]

All,

I purchased a replacement CD player for my 95, and I am having a hard time getting the old one out.

I bought the removal tool at autozone, but it doesn't want to budge. I used the tool to pull the radio out so I know the tool works fine.

Any tips to get this cd player out?

Thanks,

Keith

My Crutchfield order says:

Set parking brake and disconnect negative battery cable.
Insert DIN tools into holes in each side of factory radio and
gently push into holes about one inch until a click is heard on
each side. Spread tools apart slightly and pull out radio.
Disconnect wiring harness and unplug antenna lead to remove
radio.

The spreading trick might be the key.

Since you already have the radio out, if you can get an extra set of hands to pull the removal pins apart, you can reach inside and push it out from behind. That's what i had to do and it worked fine.
