The radio is easy to pull, as is the SID once the radio is out.
To get the radio out go to AutoZone or Pep Boys or some other
consumer-oriented auto parts store and purchase "radio removal tools".
You'll get a pair of U-shaped wires about the gauge of a wire coat
hanger. These get inserted into the holes along either side of the
radio, then bow them outwards and pull on them at the same time.
Once the radio is out (doesn't even have to be disconnected), recah
your hand in, back behind the cage that holds the radio, and reach your
fingers upwards. You should feel the back of the SID or the wiring
harness for the SID. Pull that towards you, and the SID should just
pop right out.
If it's been awhile since the radio's been out, you might have to coax
it out from behind just like you did the SID. The way to do that is
from the opening below, which is where the climate control is. If you
have the automatic, then it's easily removed by removing one of the
blank plugs below it, and reaching your finger in and pushing it out.
If you have the manual climate control, I can't help you b/c I've never
worked on one of those.
Good luck,
