Hey young AC guy,
Not that familiar with the vehicle, but most radio's are supported by their face-plates (re: front), with a singular support on the back. Take your time, don't be impatient, and if all else fails most librarys have vehicle repair manuals that should help you out. It is normally not rocket science, just knowledge.
Good luck young guy :D
PS. I have an 91 530 EXT and a 90 440 Pantera and LOVE them!

the way that i under stand it comes off is that you take a small screw driver and put it down each of the 4 holes in the face plate... i cna get one side lose just not the driver side of it and i have been tryin for a week on and off if all else fails theres always a sawzall :devil:

One some cars and trucks you have to pull the whole dash plate that has the sterio in it. Thats how its done in the new dodge rams.

Just a thought.

Team arctic is right,

You need to buy the radio removal tool, or use 4 nails or screwdeivers or whatever in the holes o release the radio. It releases the clips and with some wiggling it will come out.

I use a coat hanger, you will need two pieces. Bend the two pieces into a U shape and push it in the holes. This will release the clips. Walmart also sells a tool to do it if you need to go and look at it to see what I am talking about.
