Radio removal

[Cbitz233]

Have access to the radio. Can fit my little hands through the top of the dash. My next step is literally to remove it. Feels like the radio housing is mounted on a bracket but not sure. Any tips or tricks anyone knows to get this out.

I don't have an answer, , but I'm sure it IS mounted on a bracket ...replaced my radio many years ago with a Blaupunkt so I know removal can be done (with a lot of frustrating wriggling and repositioning, and maybe even a slight amount of fiberglass removal to provide a slight increase in the size of the dash hole in selective locations... maybe the corners, can't recall exactly, and I think it can be removed from the passenger side console although some A/C hoses may need to be detached).

Here are several hits I found with a Google search:

Please, you would be doing others a great favor if you document the removal with words and pictures as you go along, and post the method you find successful.
