Head Unit Removal

[plrubin]

HELP!! The head unit for the 2003 protege is impossible. It seems that the stock unit is mounted impossibly. Any suggestions other than a hammer?

go to best buy and they should have the head unit removal tool you could buy or borrow, and it will come out like a hot knife thru butter.

Thanks all! About 10 minutes after this post I removed the unit w/ ease!! I am just an idot and had to think for a minute. It was a piece of cake and did just slide right out. Just put in a Jenson vm9311 7" lcd in dash deck. It's sweet!

FYI:
No part had to be purchased. Just a simple flat head screw driver and badabing.
