CD Player - Install - Easy Question - 8/18/2005 11:58:12 AM

I need to pull a storage compartment out from under my 93 929, AM/FM cassette player to insall the CD player that originally came with this model car. There are four holes in each corner of the compartment that seem to have some sort of pressure release clips, but I am not sure. Can anyone offer some advice on how this is released? Since this is where CD player belongs, it looks the CD was pulled the same way. There are not any screws or bolts. The frame around the compartent and players is behind them, so they come out first.
I have emailed the place that I purchased the Cd from and am hoping they can help. As I am sure you understand there is lots of plastic, so I do not want to crack anything.

Would really like to install it this weekend. Any frustration anyone can save me will be appreciated.

You need to get a pair of what are commonly called Ford Radio Removal Tools. They are 'U' shaped metal tools with a little ball on the end of each leg of the U. Should be able to get at any parts store for under $5. Insert legs of tool into the two holes on each side and then spread tool ends outward and pull compartment out.
