Help with taking out stereo!!!

[Wingsfreak9 10+ year member]

there is a clip that 'clips' to the side of the chassis. it's what keeps the unit from sliding out (obviously). the tool slides between the cage and the chassis of the unit to release the clip. you have to get it just right. it's a pain in the ass.

this.

Is it possible to do with just a knife or something?

i think a butterknife on each side will be too thick. that tool is like thin sheet metal.

thing is you got to get both sides at the same time. and 2 knives will be too thick to fit in at the same time.

The butterknife will be to thick. You will end up scratching your radio and/or dash.

You can either go to walmart and get the little tool to release the radio

or

You can stop by an audio shop and see if they will do it for you real fast.

It only takes maybe 5 seconds to do it if you know what your doing.
