Problems Removing Radio '87 5K

[Ameer Antar]

ya, my non-stock radio is attached by a bolt at the rear. In any case, you 
should be able to take the right hand side panel of the center console off 
and see what's going on. It's real easy to remove. Just undo one screw at 
the bottom and one at the top which you'll see when you open the glovebox. 
Then the panel just slides backwards and comes off the clips. The glovebox 
has to be open to clear the panel...good luck.
