Removing the CD player

The CD player in my 2002 Escape holds 6 CDs and has stopped working. It also won't give me back my CDs. Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this sucker from the dash?

I am familiar with the type of Ford radio you are thinking of as I have one of these in my Mustang. Unfortunately, the Tribute doesn't have the familiar 4 holes so I am stumped.

You have to take the center console trim panels off and remove the bolts that hold the radio in place... not a real difficult job.. just be careful so that you don't break the panels.

Good luck
