Any one have a diagram of the procedure to remove the radio bezel. I sort of afraid I will crack it if I try to pry it out. This is for a 2001 Sportage. I also have a 2000 Sportage, that one comes out easily, but the 2001 seems to be the entire dash is one piece. I have to get to the rear of the CD player, the antenna jack seems to be loose, and the only way I see to push it all the way back in is to pull out the radio and push it back in. If anyone has a manual and couls scan a page and email it, I would appreciate the help.

I havent seen a procedure in the service manual for this, but the bezel covers the entire cluster and all. Make sure all the screw are out and sometimes its a good idea to remove the upper part of the steering column cover, it snaps to the bottom cover.
Removing this cover will make it a bit easier to remove the bezel.
