I need to change the radio in my 1994 F250, but I'm not sure how to get it out, any suggestions?

 

You use this tool that is designed for that purpose.

You just insert them through the holes in the front of the radio and pull it straight out.

 

buy tool set to pull it out, get radio/cd player of your choice, get wiring adapter set, install.

that is all.

 

Sounds good, thanks guys.

 

Could also use a metal hanger

 

yes, but it is easier to get the tool and they are cheap.

 

They are about $3.00 i think you can get them at wal mart or any radio store

 

I got mine at NAPA, I don't remember how much they were but I am pretty sure it was less than $5.00. Yes, you can use a hanger or welding rods, but these are MADE for the job and work much better, and without damage, scrapes, and scratches..

 

You can use 4 nails to get the factory player out.

When you install the new one I strongly recommend the wiring harness adapter. Do not cut your factory wiring. Also, I would solder the connections or use posi-locks. Those crimp connectors suck.

 

When you get the factory radio out, for a little bit of extra work, you can pull the glove box out. This will give you enough room to get your arm up behind where the radio will be going. It helped me get an iPod USB cable out to the glove box and some RCAs back to the amp. It also helped me get all the wires tucked in nicely behind the unit when I was pushing it it.

 

Yeah, removal tool is teh bomb

 

I forgot to mention before. You insert the tool or nails/pins and push toward the sides and then pull out. I agree with removing the glove box, that makes things alot easier.
