In the back of my stereo console there is a triangular shapped metal thingy. My guess is that it held the factory radio in...

How do I remove that piece of junk?? I tried but I took half the car apart and still cant reach it?? It appears to be held in by one screw..

Anybody got any ideas??

If I remember right its held by a couple small rivets...some twisting and pulling will get it out, not too tough once you get it started....

When I installed my stereo system, I just used a long screw driver and pry it up. It's held with rivets not bolts.

A nice long flat head, and just the right amount of brute force got it out for me

Hammer and a big flat screw driver.I also covered the wires directly in the back with wire loom and some split rubber hose and a few zip ties,just to keep the wireing safe, in case the back of the radio were to get hot.Works nice, now the radio is set back 2 inches and I have room to insert the music CD's.

hehe yea a big screw driver and a hammer seems to be the consensus.. When i installed my stereo i had to bust it out too , took a little plastic with it but nothing anyone will ever see... i tried using a cold chisel to break the rivets but it didnt work... not enough room to swing the hammer haha my shift selector got in the way :P

I found a brand new plastic support structure in a wrecking yard so I just drilled out the rivets before installing it. If I ever want to revert to stock I can just pop-rivet the support back on.
