I have looked and looked and looked.
I cannot find screws to take this stock double din tape player out!
I have a nice double din CDplayer from a brand new E350 that I want to put
in, But I have no clue how to pull this thing out of there...
any ideas/pics ?
If you know what you're doing, a bent coat hanger will work also. The radio clips are 'sorta' like fuel lines, you have to release them before it comes out.. they are loaded to some extent.
Take a coat hanger and cut it into 2-8" sections. Bend each piece into a C, or a [ shape. Shove the ends of the Cs hard into the two holes on each side of the radio and leave them in as you pull out the radio.
Coat hanger won't work if it's not a large enough diameter. I made tools myself. Took finishing nials and ground the heads down to JUST fit in the holes on both sides to the radio. Hammer them into two blocks of wood the same disatnace apart as the holes are on each side to the radio. Slip them in and use them like handle pulls to remove the radio. May take some wiggling and effort.
I have used coat hangers and the nail idea sounds even better but the tools are really really cheap and work better then anything home made that i have ever used so just go but a set.
