this is a pretty simple radio to take out,,first you need to pull the front trim piece off,,behind it you will see 4 screw,s that hold the radio in,,remove them,,be care full at this time,,just ease it out till you can get to the harness and the radio antenna wire,,disconnect them and remove the radio,,installation ,,is the reverse of this,,and what ever you do,,don't go pulling your whole dash apart,,it,s not necessary,,and you do not have to pull,,half the car apart to do it,,as some might tell you.,,if it,s the old knob type,,you may just have two nut,s behind the trim that hold,s it in,,also there will be a brace in the back ,,maybe,,not all of them had them,,you may have to remove it from the back,,it may be tight,,but it will come down and out,,hope this help,s

Not exact on this. Some had a Brace on the back, one 3/8 or 7/16 bolt. May try looking/feeling.
Also, look on the Front sides for two little holes. IF, they there you can use a Clothes Hanger or something to make Rods to stick in the Holes to Release it from it's mount.

you will need to take the dash apart. and maybe lower the steering coloum.
