Kirk-

It's pretty straight forward:

Start by disconnecting your wiring harness at the back corner on the driver's side and the antenna lead on the passenger side.

Next remove the volume and tuning knobs along with the balance and tone knobs. You'll find a nut on each shaft that secures the front of the radio to the dash carrier. Use a deepwell socket to remove the nuts.

Lastly, there's a small "L" shaped bracket on the passenger side that attaches to the metal brace that runs along the bottom of your dash carrier and attaches to the side of the radio at the back corner. This supports the back of the radio. You can leave the bracket attached to either the radio or the brace.

Once one side or the other on the "L" bracket is disconnected, just slide the radio back and down to remove it.
