help removing radio from 1991 Ford Escort

[starjan]

I have a 1991 Ford Escort. I just bought a CD player to put in it but I am having the worst time trying to get the old radio/cassette player out. I saw the page on how to remove one from a '99 model, but how do I remove it from mine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My 93 radio had 4 holes...2 vertical holes on each end. Fashion 2 "square U"s with wire coat hanger with the prongs the same distance as the holes. Pook a U into each set of holes ~3/4"-1". They will release 4 catches and the radio will slide straight out.

Yep, thats how I did it. Alternativly you could go to the ford dealership and pay $40 for the proper tool (prebent coathangers basically lol). Just fashion the coat hangers and you will be fine.

walmart has the tools for $1, it is called DIN Removal tool, it is in the audio section with all of the amp wiring

Dont know what page you are talking about but if it was my page I show the tool that is used. (if you are crafty you can make your own based on those photos)
