96 E350 Radio Removal Installation Help
 

I have a 96 E350 high top American conversion van with the original Ford factory radio. The radio died and I need to replace it. My service manual shows this complicated procedure requiring taking the entire dashboard apart to get the radio out, but I have read many stories about car thieves who can pull a radio in less than 30 seconds. Can anyone please tell me if there is a way I can replace this radio without taking the dash completely apart?

Thanks
