Do you have a vendor in your area that installs stereos, etc. that might be able to point you in the right direction?

Tell us what model and year.

Some of the mid 90s use a special tool to remove the radio. The radio just slides out if you have the tool.

I bought mine for about $5. They look like coat hanger wire bent into a U and fit into two holes on each side of the radio. Some people actually use coat hanger wire. But the real tool has little nubs on the end that engage the spring lock and help pull the radio out.

But without knowing your year and model that is about as good as I get.

You have to look behind the ashtray and there are 2 bolts, and you have to pop out the accessory covers on the sides and there are 2 more bolts behind them, then the dash cover will come off and you will see the radio bolts. It is not hard at all.
