How to remove head unit in 98?

[Magicfan25]

Got a 98 Explorer sport with premium sound system. So it has the am/fm CD/tape head unit. Whats the best/easiest way to get this thing out? TIA

you can get the "special tool" that goes into the 4 square holes and take it out that way or just remove the 2 bolts at the bottom of the trim and take that off then kind of work the HU out. Thats the way I do it.

Crutchfield has the special tools....$7.99 shipped...Took me 5 seconds to take head unit out w/ them.
