I am having some trouble removing the Stock Cassette player from my 1998 Ford F-150. It seems to be loose but i dont know how to pull it out does anybody know?

never worked on any of the older f150's, but almost all older ford radios used a set of keys to take the stereos out. there should be two small holes on each side of the cassette player. They make a special tool (best buy sells them) that is u shaped and slides into each hole. gently bend the tools to the outside and pull towards you, and the deck should slide ride out. hope this helps

I went down to carquest, was going to buy the tools, they were $8, they told me that a metal coat hangar, and then just cut off the ends to get a U shaped piece, that worked for me, if you don't want to buy any tools. I just didn't want to buy something that I was just going to use once...
