Re: Removing Radio

There might be a brace from the back of the radio to the front of the cab

Re: Removing Radio

I had a hard time getting my factory cassette radio out, that thing was HUGE. You just have to wriggle it around and find a way to get it out the bottom. It was 15 years ago, I don't recall exactly what angle to twist but I want to say I shoved the back in and up as far as I could to get the shafts free of their holes.

Are you saying you didn't remove the knobs from the stems?

The knobs and little bezels slip right off the radio.

Then - you jiggle it around all over the place to pull it out, as mentioned above.

Re: Removing Radio

My question is how did you have it all loose behind the dash if the knobs were still on ?!?!?!?!?!

Re: Removing Radio

loosen the screws that are holding the radio to the dash and remove the nuts that were holding the knobs to the dash
