Removing the Pioneer CD6 radio on the cheap

I recently decided to try'n add an AUX input to my old (2004) Sport Trac which required the removal of the radio. To that end I decided to make my own removal tools rather than spend the few bucks required for a tool I would probably only use once. Plus I always enjoy 'beating the system'. So if you every need to remove yours and don't want to invest more than the price of a coat hanger (or a length of 1/8" gas welding rod)... you can watch this little Youtube video I cobbled together.

That's what I have always used on my older Fords.
