just remember when you are pushing in the removal tools be very gentle as to not push too far. they are a pita if the tabs you are trying to release get bent. you will feel a slight pop when they seat properly good luck

Remove dash trim around radio on some years.
Insert radio removal tool. ( you can buy or make one out of a Metal coat hanger bent in to a Ushape.
Pull radio out disconnect wires

Mine came out today and used a #20 Torx, but a 7mm nut-driver would have
worked on those four screws too. Also plugged the antenna wire hole today.

Thinking about gutting the radio and lining the empty metal box with felt and
using it for gloves or something.

They can be a pain to get out

I just got a factory premium sound mach 360 out of a mustang I'm putting in mine.

These trucks the fitting is super tight. I use the removal to,a nd then i pop the glove box down. and i snake my hands up behind the radio and give it a little nudge.

Yeah, my ex-GF had a '96 T-Bird that had the spring-lock type radio in it. :/

First few times taking it out using the U shaped tools could be a pain.
But then I realized it was more about feel than brute force and if the
springs were pressed in -just right- the sucker would come out of there
easy as anything.

It's been a long time since I messed with it tho and I-am getting CRS. :/

ps- What does CRS mean again?

At least it's easier taking out a Gen. 8 radio.
