Remove dash to remove radio?

I have a 1993 F-150. Do I need to pull the dash to get the radio out? The radio cuts in and out. I only get 2 AM stations and no FM.

No need to remove dash.. You just need a set of these:


You can find them at your local parts store in the HELP section... It's just two U shaped pieces that snap into the small holes on either side of the factory radio. Then you just spread them slightly and pull the radio right out.. Easy as pie.

Some people have been successful with nails or coat hanger wire, but these do less damage..

Using the DIN tools that White posted is the way to take it out, but it may not just slide right out on the first try, sometimes you need to work it back and forth a few times.
