How do I remove a radio?

Help!

I need to remove the radio/cd player from my Disco this afternoon.  It is a sony one.

How do I get it out?  I've got the front off but how do I get the main unit out please?

Thanks!

Disco Matt:
The radio most likely clips into a metal frame arrangement that is in turn clipped into the dashboard. If so, you'll need the right type of radio keys - these slide down the sides of the radio to disengage the tabs and provide handles to pull it out with. Halfords or similar may be able to advise on which type you need.

JumboBeef:
Thanks,

Here is what it looks like and the keys I have (they were kicking around in the barn).  The way I feel at the moment I'm going to remove it with a hammer if I can't get it out!

Disco Matt:
Right, if you look at the sides of the radio there may be some sort of guides for the keys, failing that try sliding them between the radio and the metal cradle thing about halfway up. It can be tricky to get them in the right place but keep trying and it will eventually come out.

Also worth checking you're using the right end of the key - I'm not sure if they're marked or not!

JumboBeef:
Which end is the right end?  The wide bit or the smaller bit *stupid smilie*
