Stuck stereo

[Frances Hunter]

Trying to take broken Clarion stereo out to replace with another but after removing rear center screw that held it in , I can't get it loose enough to come out,. Are there some tabs or something I need to push in or what, I'm sure it's something simple I'm neglecting to do but What???

yeah, on side of sleeve, theres a "tab" on each side. Pop the outer rim off, and that will expose the tabs, in middle. Push those in/out and same time, pull stereo out.

Normally you would have a set of keys that push down each side between what they call the can and the stereo, but you dont have these keys. When you push them down the side they push the tabs outward which releases the deck. the can is also held in with tabs that are bent out while the deck is out then the deck is slide in and locks into place. Two thin pieces of flat steel can work just as well.:cheers:
I knew what you ment Timmyboy76!!!:rofl:

Ive heard of people using butter knives to take out my I mean their radios. Kind of hillbilly tho.
