Here is a video showing how to remove a standard radio from the dashboard.
A pair of extractors are required (available from Ebay etc ) but these can be made from 2 pieces of bent, wire coat-hanger or 4 small drills(using the blunt end) or 4 small Allen Keys or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 nails or even 4 darts.
An assistant is useful to pull the radio out whilst you are releasing the 4
securing clips
Hi Karen,
I just removed a radio from a Ford Festiva by using 4 little nails. Make sure the nails are pushed in far enough (not too far so that you can't get them out any more) and "wobble" the radio a little to release.
Best of luck!
