Removal

Insert two wire prongs into the holes (I used a coat hanger cut in half). Once inserted, but a finger in the tape deck and pull Image

Image
Disconnect the three plugs from the back (Stereo, hazard and cd changer). I needed a screwdriver to remove the stereo plun (the large white one) Image

Preping

Check that the stereo works by connecting it to the large white plug Image
Check that the ariel fits. Mine didn't but that was nothing a saw couldn't fix (Note, have since learnt a converter cable is about £3) Image
Image
Image

Installing

Connect the hazard light to the brown plug. Then clip in the facia Image
Now you are sure everything works and will fit, insert the cage into the space. Note that it may need convincing. Image
The extracted head unit has a half inch ribber stopper on the end (not pictured) Unscrew this and screw it to the back of your new stereo. This helps to secure it. Now simply insert the new stereo and enjoy your handy work. Image
