Hmmmm, looks like something dumb has happened. Go to the bottom of the page and in the search box type: "Radio removal tools" and that will take you to the sale page.
Sorry,

Do we need these to take our radio out?? I was planning on putting a cd player in this winter in my down time, along with some decent speakers that aren't trashed like mine, nothing big, just better sound.

Here is the cool thing, take a wire coat hanger, cut two peices off of it, 6 inch lengths, bend each of the two peices into a U-shape.. You have your radio removal tool!

Just in case I didnt cover it.. You may have to wiggle the radio side to side as you go with the home made tool, as its not perfect, but does work!

If you have the factory radio, all you need to get it out are the tools you see above, that are shaped like long u-bolts.

Coat hanger is a waste of time. Allen keys work but $5 for the puller tools is money well spent IMO. Take it from someone who has tried almost everything and bought the tools and hasn't regretted it once.

I tried the coat hangar. Bent
I tried the allen wrenches. Couldn't pry on all 4 at the same time and pull the radio out.
I would spend the $5.00 if I ever had to do it again.
Me and a friend were doing the swap. I had to go inside and answer the phone. When I came back out my friend (the nut bag) had a large flat screwdriver jammed into the cassette hole prying on it. DA**it I said. I told you I wanted to keep the radio. He totally trashed the radio. But he gave me the CD player for free so I couldn't bitch too much.
