Stero removal

[mudhog]

HELP!!!
I've managed to snap my current Ariel and have bought a replacement but can I figure out how to get the stereo out.........i don't think so! It's an after market Clarion one that was in there when I bought it but there are no holes to remove it, I spoke to the guy in the shop where I bought the ariel and he reckons that I have to pull out the dash board to get to the back to plug in my new ariel..... can this be true or is he full of ****

Anyone, anywhere HELP please as I have a long trip next week and NEED music!

Thanks

hey mate,take off the console side,(to the left of your left leg)

there is just enough space to get your hand in and squeeze a new lead in

It not as bad as it looks - I can replace the stereo in a 2nd gen in about 45 mins....start to finish (including the front speakers).....

i cant be sure but i think some radios can be removed as i havent seen radios for ages but im sure once some had 2 holes 1 either side that you could fit a tool into so radio can be pulled out.
im sure also that if you removed the lower part of dash by gear stick you can get your hand in enough to remove the old ariel n put the new one in. but like i said im not sure n only trying to help but im sure someone on here will say how to do it n tell me im wrong

You'll need VERY small hands to do that! My experience has been the whole mount has to be taken out which is centre part of dash out....

You can in some cases, but in mine the stereo is screwed into the cage on both sides, my Celica was the same - so it's unlikely the little tool things would work.

You, small???? Compared to whom????

as mentioned before,if you remove the shroud it is possible(though fiddly,admitted) to get to the back of the radio,and i have got biggish hands

Haahahahahahahaa!

I'd defo lose to Cheyenne!!

Karma - not seen one for the third gen, I was looking over Tim's (hawkeye...) and couldn't work it out - it may be easier with a 3rd gen, could be a case of using a tool like Pirate Storm....no, that came out wrong like Will mentioned, the little bars you get, slide them down the side and see if it comes out....

Dude, you assisted in fitting a Lexus V8 into a Supra and you're asking for help in removing a couple of pieces of plastic dash??!!
