How to remove stock CD Changer?
Hi All,
My stock CD changer fried so I bought a replacement unit on ebay.
How do I get the old one out to get the new one in?
Do I need to remove the dash and how would I do that if necessary?
It isn't redily apparent?
Thanks
Evan

Or if you want to save yourself a few bucks and a trip to the quto parts store, you can try what I did when I repalced my stock stereo two years ago. Take a wire coat hanger and cut, bend, fashion it into two wide mouth U shapes. Simultaneously insert both ends of both U shapes into the holes and the thing will slide right out like butta'...... 
Don't know about the new unit, can 'ya post a pic if possible?

I bought the tool for $7.04 including tax at Shucks.
It came out.
It turns out that my replacement unit is a newer bolt in model with a wide faceplate, so I took a #9 Torqz and took the frame off, swapped face plates and slid it in, like butta, I don't have blinding acceleration or go off road too much so it isn't likely to slide out. Vibration may be an issue.
Any Idea how to mount a set of DIN clips to it to make it like stock?
Thanks for the help.
