Saab: Instrument panel, Saab Radio Removal

Question
Hi, I just bought a '92 SAAB U.S. and it has an after market radio in it... but no faceplate. So he (the guy i bought it from) gave us a radio with a faceplate but I can't figure out how to take the old one out? I read in the owners manual that you are suppose to use a special tool but I'm pretty sure that is doesn't work for a radio that was put in after the original. I think taking off the instrument panel will do the job but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Answer
Alex:
  The "special tool" consists of two grabbers   one for each side. The original radio had 4 small holes in the front panel (two on each side, one above the other) into which the tool (U-shaped spring steel hooked end devices fitted, with which you pulled the radio out.

 Aftermarket radios of the "DIN" shape (most common rectangular) require a different special tool...flat spring steel handle-like things that you slide in (vertically) on each side of the radio, releasing an inner tab........... and then pull.

 When you determine which your radio requires, you can get then at almost any car radio installation shop, or even Walmarts (for the second type only).

    Hope this helps,
