Stock Stereo Removal?

[twinz99]

Is there any way i can remove my stock Stereo without going to the store and buying the deck removal kit for 10 bucks.?


Also looking to remove the Silver trim around my 1999 Ebrake any tips??

You can bend some foot-long sections of coat hanger wire to approximate the shape of the stereo tools. They won't have the notch in the ends, though, so it's a little more tricky to get the head unit to move out.

Silver trim?

i know there is 2 bolts under the cup holder peice i got that out is there any other way to get the rest of the silver out?

It's all one huge piece, bonded together. There are two screws under the ash tray; two deep in each footwell (one on each side) with a cap over the screws, and there are screws inside the armrest, at the back.

You have to pull the trim ring around the shift boot (pull straight up from the edge along the ashtray), and you need to unplug the wires on the cig lighter.

Pull the brake lever all the way up, raise the tail end of the console, and slide the whole console forward under the radio until you can clear the brake lever, then out it comes.

when you push the bent coat hangers into the holes, you'll feel a "click", then move them outward , and pull the stereo out,you might have to grind the ends flat to make the notch Andy is talking about,or.... look on ebay, I got my tools on there for about a dollar+ shipping.

You can find the "din removal tools" at walmart for like $3...just sayin.
