General Radio won't come out...

[doubledutch1962]

I'm sure you're joking, right?

A little bit Woke up early every morning though with a new idea that must do it (and didn't work)

This in the How To series.

Yes saw that video already but it again assumes that just putting these pins in gets the radio out?

I've recently had a triple bypass, now THAT could have ruined my xmas, but a stuck radio... Nah.
It's all relative.

I'm really sorry to hear that and yes - that doesn't compare. Hope you are recovering well.

I have a long thin vegetable knife, I would sharpen it and go round the edge of the radio if I was in your situation, just to remove any double sided sticky pads.

Using some thin strong plastic I wedged it all around the radio to deal with any Velcro and sticky bits. The only place I obviously can’t get to are the back of the “wings” next to the holes. Still won’t budge. Took it to Halfords: they can’t get it out either. What the heck is going on!

I had a similar thing happen with my Stilo.
I went to remove the lardy cassette player and fit a Cd player bought from Aldi.


Problem I had wasn't the I.c.e. but the in dash surround it was supposed to slide from was buckled.

I never had any I.c.e. removals pins, so I stupidly use a long thin screwdriver, a bradawl and a cut down metal coat hanger.

It had worked on my Uno's and Puntos, and when I managed to remove the I C.E. surround.

The plastic surround that replaced the large hole that the dash (and the half sized Din) it got removed the same way, with my Heath Robinson removal tools, when I traded it in, and put the Fiat Cassette radio back in

The retainer clip or clips are knackered .

Dashboard as previously suggested; or

Knock out the clips but likely damaging the bracket and possibly the radio. Depends on which bit gives way. Use a rod wider than the pins of it fits. Use 4 and maybe it'll give after one on each side.

Good luck, perseverance and a bit of force.
