stuck radio

I'm trying to take out the factory head unit, I have the correct tools and I know how to do it but it's stuck. The passenger side releases correctly, and from what I can tell it seems that on the drivers side the top clip moves normally with the radio removal tool but the bottom one doesn't. It must be bent or something screwy like that. So what do I do now?

Mine was a hard to get out you just have to keep trying different ways to get it like pushing it to one side and then try to pull it out.

I thought (couldbe wrong) that if you remove the oval plastic piece from the radio, you could access a portion of the sides of the radio. From there I suspect you could take like a tack puller, or similar tool and press the spring that holds it in place while pulling on the deck.

Thanks for the help, I managed to get it out tonight. The clip I suspected had jumped out of it's track away from the radio and the tab that was suppose to keep it in place was now keeping it from moving toward the radio. I was able to see this and bend the tab after I took off the front of the radio.
