Audio Systems: 1989 Ford Ranger Radio, ford stereo, coat hanger

Question
How do you go about removing the factory installed am/fm with cassette so you can change it?

Answer
if it's the ones that have the 4 small holes by the 4 corners, there's a tool available at ford dealer parts dept. that looks like a 'u' shaped piece of coat hanger with notches at the tips that you push into the holes, 2 at a time, both sides, and use the tools as handles to pull the radio out. (the tools unlatch 4 catches so you can slide radio out.) once you've seen the tools, it's quite easy to make them and notch the tips in the right place. some auto parts places have them, just ask for ford stereo removal tools.....
