Question How to tear apart dash-replacing stock radio

Hello all, I am wondering what is the easiest way of tearing my dash apart so that I can put a new radio in. I will be doing it tommorow night so the sooner that someone can reply the better! Thanks for all help!

Its fairly simple, and if you know how to pop the steering wheel off then its so easy.

Take out the lower dash trim panel first, under the steering wheel. Two screws and two expansion screws, thats all the screwing involved. When you get that off shift into first gear (column shifts) and try to GENTLY. G E N T L Y. pull off the upper dash trim. It'll take some effort and messing with the steering wheel tilt if you haven't removed the wheel (I didn't), but its possible to get everything off and back on again without breaking nothin'. I've swapped instrument clusters almost ten times (long story on that) so I've been pulling the stuff off and putting it back on enough times.

http://www.morpfhine.com/trunk/ has a simple first step for the bottom trim removal if you need pictures to go along with it.
