Noob radio removal

[Bassetlounge]

I have searched forthis answer, but I haven't found it quite yet.. I am planning on adding an aux input jack to my stock AM radio. I am not quite sure how to take the radio out. I will remove the ashtray and the heating/vent control first, but how does the radio actually come out?
Do u remove the knobs first? Do they twist off? Pull straight out?

I apologize in advance for asking what appears to be an easy question. I am new to this, and don't want to break it.

Pull the knobs off and you will find the nuts that hold the radio to the dash. It should also have a strap/bracket with a nut on the back of the radio that also needs to come off and then its on! don't forget to disconnect the electrical plug&ground. Cheers, Pat

Thanks pat! I take it you just pull straight out, away from the dash? No twisting??

I found it odd that of the three knobs to remove from the dash bezel,each had their own way or removal.. Brilliant!!!

A couple of pictures in this thread show how the brackets bolt together. The flat piece with two holes in the first picture bolts to the firewall.

You usually have to twist and turn it until it comes out the glovebox hole. It won't pull straight out.
