Gold Member Username: JmloughreyFarmington, CT Post Number: 1619 Registered: Jul-04 | if you're looking to get the radio popped out, try going down to your local circuit city, offer the installer there like $5 cash and chances are fairly good he'd be more then happy to pop it out for ya. I've made a good $100 cash in pocket just opping out ford/vw/audi radios this passed summer |

Silver Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 531 Registered: Sep-05 | The tools are free is right. A hanger works great if you need the U-shaped tool. Just cut two lengths off of the hanger and bend them into shape. Worked great when I took a stock HU out of an Explorer. |
