Mk1 radio removal

[scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com (Brian Wagner)]

Take a coat hanger and cut 2 7" length's then bend them into a "U" shape
with the end seperated the same distance as 2 holes on one side of the radio
face. Insert in the holes about 1/2" and gently push outwards on your "U"'s
and pull the radio out.
