Gotta replace my radio and don't want to reinvent the wheel. So, quick tips on removing the bezel? Don't wanna risk breaking it. It's a '96 GMC so the tip should be the same from '95-98.

Make sure the steering wheel is all the way down and apply the parking brake and put the gear selector in 1st, and you should just be able to pull on it carefully and get it out enough to unplug the light switch and the cargo light switch, then you can pull it the rest of the way out it is a little tight but it comes out. Once it is off the radio is easy just two push tabs, push them down and pull the radio out enough to unhook the wires. Unhook the battery also I have had an aftermarket radio antenna adapter short out the ac/heat controller.

Thanks. I knew that I wasn't finding any screws so there had to be another form of fastening. I'll give it a shot this week.
