Jamie,the U tools should slide in and both "click" at that point place outward pressure on each U toll while pulling the stereo outward. The stereo contacting edges might be sticky from dried coffee,soda,juice,etc and in that case a light shot of windex/glass cleaner around the edges might be enough to break the sticky surfaces loose enough to draw the stereo out.:sweet

Give er a shot and lemme know how it goes.

I think I may have the wrong tools. I just looked online at the one at Wally world and the tips look a bit different than the ones I got at Pep Boys. The one from that says Pep Boys is the one I have. It says its for Fords. Am I supposed to have the one from Wal Mart?

88.7 mhz is what I use on mine. You would be a little AMish if you are indeed off channel.

I have used the Pep Boys ones and they work on my truck with the stock radio.

Thats wierd. I've tried it on my truck and my Dads truck, both with stock radios, and it doesn't work on either one. I've tried putting pressure to the outside ,inside,top, and bottom and all it does is just slip right back out.
I can't push them in any further either. I'm going to make a stop at Wal Mart and see if theirs does any better.

Push them in until they just "click" into the taps. Any further won't help. I don't think it is a tool problem, maybe an operator error???

I had problems removing my radio so I removed the slide in cup holder and stuck my hand through to the back of the radio.

It was a tight squeeze but I was able to manage. I keep my XM radio on a normal radio station so when I lose the signal or shut the unit off I still hear music and not static.

Good Idea Mike. I just assumed there would be some bleed through on a broadcasting channel, but I'll have to give it a try.
