Ask someone at an auto parts store and they'll know what it is.

Just do whatever it takes to kill it... 1996 Contour "Mean Green" (99-02) 2002 Malibu Blue Focus ZX5 - something to hold the PB 15...

Then you cut it and shape 2 small "U"s. stick it into the holes that are on each side of the tape deck. Then pry it out. Worked pretty easily for me, and was MUCH cheaper than going to the store to buythe actual tool. Hope this helps, and have fun upgrading. Give me more beer and CEG before i get depressed!

BUT you can only remove ( only a little, like 1/4" ) ONE side at a time then the other !! , just play around with it you'll see. The alternative is to buy the tool they mention above but its a one time use thing unless more fords to come in future.
