Trouble getting the factory radio out in 93 ESCORT

I used 2 u-shaped coat hangers in the holes, they go in like 10 inches, but nothing happens... i understand that the radio is supposed to pop out, but it's not budging... is there a bracket in there somewhere? can i access it by taking off the front panel(s)?

They go in about 2 inches, no more, there are 4 metal clips that are to be pushed in towards the radio, all Ford vehicles have these from like 91-96, and all the radio's are interchangeable. 10 Inches is way to far, that's past the radio. If you have a tape deck, stick your DIN pins in about 2 inches and put a finger in the tape deck and gently coax it out. If you dont have a tape deck, use a flathead screwdriver behind the faceplate GENTLY to pry it out while pressing on the DIN pins, which once you stick the coathangers in about 2 inches you can feel and push away from the radio with the coathangers (Moving them in towards the pins inside the dash.)

Hope I helped...
