Post the pics, if I remeber right is there a narrow trim piece that runs the width of the dash? If so, then it has to go.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

they are quite the bugger... you have to slide the dash bezel out far enuff to get behind there with a nut driver and unscrew the bracketing that holds the radio to the dash bezel.... it's not as bad getting it out as it is getting it back in.....

i got it out...it actually wasnt to hard...i decided to go the way of taking out the glove box and unhooking the cord for the cold/hot lever and that gave me the room i needed to get the screws out and sh*t.

process of elimination and now its out...thanks for the help tho
