dumb question...removing oem unit

I have a 2003 Ford F-250 and I am not sure how to get the head unit out. It has two holes in each side of the radio. Do I need some sort of tool/key?

Ok thanks. Can I just go to a local shop and borrow theirs? Is that something most shops keep laying around?

Kragen auto parts may have them.

I got my din keys for my taurus from kragen and they were only like 5 bucks.

It has been awhile but I am pretty sure that I was able to use paperclips or a real thin screw driver.
