jam the keys in and rip the stereo out with your fingers in the tape slot. If you still cant do it get someone stronger to help you

Quite a few OE stereos have a bolt at the rear. Not sure if Ford ever did that but it could explain your problems.......lol

Are the keys clicking into place? If they are just jamming in and then coming back out when you pull hard on them, they're not getting put in right in the first place. Just keep trying mate

not by the time he's finished with it

as above mate, fingers in tape slot and yank the cnut.

always seem to have this problem myself, they are a real mare - alternatively go to halfords and get them to remove it, they have the proper keys and know how they are all fixed!
