I had problems with mine also.I used a screwdriver to help with the lft side.Insert the tool,abgle it slightly and use a screwdriver to wedge it out.Should work.

The only trick is to pull firmly, but slowly, and wiggle things a little bit as you try. A screwdriver can help, but be careful not to tear into the surround, it breaks easily on 91 back, and 92-96 they are foam covered vinyl, and tear easily.
