Most aftermarket radios have some type of special keys that come with them when they are new. You can use the keys to remove the radio.

An easier way, especially if you don't have the keys, is to remove the entire plastic piece that it's mounted in. Look for two screws under the radio. They may be 7mm and point slightly upward, remove these two screws and then pull out on the entire black plastic part that the radio mounts to. You will need to unhook some wiring harnesses for the cigarette lighter, driving lights, etc... you will see how it goes.

I just noticed your location... you're only 35 miles from me. I have a '97 Ranger also.
