My new cd player and speakers arrived today. I already installed the rear speakers but I need help with the head unit. How do I remove the dash trim to get to the stereo? I already have the DIN tools for it but the installation guide from Crutchfield shows the trim removed. I ran late installing the speakers so I didn't want to rush with the deck. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks FedExPilot, great info. Got the head unit installed late last night. I have to say, the ease with which one can remove these dash pieces bothers me a little. I mean, tilt the vents, reach in and pull? If I were a thief I'd be going after nothing but F-150/Expeditions! Are other makes/models similar these days? I remember trying to remove the dash trim in my 95 Celica nearly killed me!

Off subject:
BTW FedEx, do you really fly or is that just a name? I ask because my dad flies commercially out of Cincinnati. When he retired from the Air Force in 89' he interviewed with both FedEx and UPS. He ended up choosing a small (at the time)regional carrier that was just bought by Delta. Was just curious. Thanks again!
