Hello, the stock Ford radio requires a special tool that you should be able to get at a local auto zone/advance auto store. They slide into the left and right side of the radio, look for two "pins" or "slots" top and bottom of the face of the radio. Push them into the radio, that should release the tabs inside the radio, and you can pull it straight back toward you. Make sure that you get the correct new clips that attach to your new radio. Try Best Buy or equivalent. Heck its probably cheaper and quicker to let them do it for you., but that takes all the fun out of it. Good luck.~Jim
