Simple tool any good auto parts store will have it, two wires with little notches on the end bent in a U shape, goes in the holes in the front of the radio on each side.

Walmart sells. You can also use a coat hanger. Bend them in a U shape. Insert in holes the press outward toward the windows.

The tool is around $5, so I'd try the coat hanger, but if that doesn't release it easily, go ahead and get the tool. I had pulled the radio in other Fords with the coat hanger/wire trick, but couldn't get mine to release until I bought the tool. It made the job easy.

Ive used large rivets, scratch awls, pocket screwdrivers. etc. anything small enough to go in there and pry over the release. Takes some wiggling but it will work. (for future reference)
