I'm replacing my factory HU with another one but I'm having a problem. This thing won't come out! I've done some searching and can't find what I need. I've got the two "tools" made from coat hangers. When I put them in the deck gets loose, but will not come out! It seems to want to take the trim piece around the HVAC controls with it. I'm thinking about taking off the trip piece, which I don't know how to do, but a friend of mine says the deck should slide right out. Any ideas?
