I got the tools and stuff but it looks like the face plate around the radio and ac controls needs to come off how do I get it off or do I need to?

 

You shouldn't need to remove anything else from around the radio just to remove the radio itself. Insert the tools until it 'clicks' (won't really be audible, but you should be able to 'feel' it), and simultaneously pull outwards (<- and ->) and towards you on the tools to unlatch the radio and remove from the dash. That's what worked for me.

Well mine comes out about quarter inch then the seporator between radio and ac controls holds it in??

 

Okay, then removal of the bezel isn't all that difficult, if a bit nerve wracking the first time. The bezel is simply held in by spring clips all around, EXCEPT there are two wires attatched by the airbag switch.

You can slowly work each side and top/bottom free with just your fingers &fingernails, you shouldn't need any tools. As long as you don't just completely *YANK* the bezel off, you shouldn't have to worry about the wire connections. You'll see what I mean. Good luck!

 

you can cheat to get it off by turnig your air conditioning vents all the way one way, then pulling on the exposed edge it gives you, comes out real easy that way
