replace radio

The radio (not the original one) in my 1991 econoline e250 just conked out. Can someone tell me what screws should a remove to replace the radio? Pictures will be great.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel

Usually 2 side clips, depress those with coat hanger and radio slides out, do a quick search for videos on youtube. Its easier seen than said.

Been awhile since I've been around the older style vans but installed radios in pre 78 and my 96 and 06. Look for screws just above the gauges and radio area. Should not be too hard to see once you look for them. You can also post so pictures we can help further.

I should add that the panel will also have hidden clips around the edges. Carefully pry on those should pop the lose. Take your time and you should not have any problems.

PhoneGirl has this closer to what's necessary---the unit shown in the photo is for a later day radio, something past the era you're working on Daniel.

I'd also suggest a YouTube search as someone there has almost certainly posted something showing this removal more exactly.

Looks like a Snap On screwdriver---maybe a knock off instead? (Didn't watch the video.)

Brought back memories changing the radios in the old 78 work van. 273,000 before I parked it.
