I just did this last week on my 88. Take a wire coat hanger, cut it and bend 2 on the pieces into U shapes. Put one of the U's into the left side holes of the radio and the other U into the right side holes. Push the left U left and the right U right. The radio should pop out and you can now slide it out. Hope that helped

Or, you can buy the DIN tools for $4 at advance auto parts.

There is two small holes on each side of the factory head unit. Take something, maybe like a very small screwdriver, or a coat hanger, and try and stick it in the holes. Remember you have to have something in all four holes at the same time or it won't pop out. I learned that the hard way.
