oh dear

 

Fail

Just make sure they're nice and straight before you poke them in, so to speak.

 

Oh bless her

 

Ok its JUST NOT HAPPENING!

I got eh hanger well and truly WEDGED!!!!! couldnt get it out!

Then i got my neighbour round to have a go and even he couldnt do it!!!

So Ford it is on Tuesday

 

File them, but not to the end. IE/leave a small ridge. Makes life easier

 

So i was right

 

You can't take it to Ford like that!! Keep wiggling....

 

cant you just go to halfords tomorrow and spend £2 on a set of radio pins.

 

They're waaaaaaay more than a couple of quid in Halfrauds!

 

Well the hangers are now out, and im damnded if im attempting to do it again!

Im just gonna pay a Ford techy to do it properly for me!

 

What exactly are you doing with them whilst they're in there, lol?

Move the wire so as the ends move outwards (ie/the left two move to the left, and the right two move to the right), and slide towards you in the same movement. Don't just fiddle about aimlessely with them, lol

 

when you put the wire it helps if you bend them outwards and pull its a piece of piss really

 

I found my pins in my desk. If you lived locally it'd be out by now

 

no more tha £5, but what will fords charge?

 

Ive tried the whole moving to the sideways thing, ive tried the wiggling about thing and ive tried the scraping my hand down the metal bit of the coat hanger while trying to get them out thing!

Ive tried... and Failed, miserably

 

Just sing ya daft bint

 

You're right, they're a fiver!

I dont care what ford charge at least itll be done for me!

 

Once the hanger pieces were in, did you try pulling the sides of the stereo? The only thing the pins do is widen the locking mechanism for you to pull the stereo out. I had the same problem with the actual pins and i used a spoon around the stereo to pull it out

 

Probably £15-£30 I guess. But they do fuck all for the privilege. They can get the code from the reg number, job done! The rest of us require the serial code.

Maria, it really is easy, lol! Get the four ends nice and straight, then twine the ends you hold together so instead of four you have two (when I say twine them together, I mean the two on the left together and the two on the right together), hold one in each fist in front of you, then move your left hand left and your right hand right and at the same time move slowly towards you and it'll slide out.

 

Like this basically. Ok, so he has the proper tools, but they're not exactly any more sophisticated, lol

it really wont come out!

 

Watched the video.... and i tried it like that

 

maria do one side at a time and your fingers in the tape slot and pull at the same time

 

Good idea! Just release one side at a time and then slide once both sides are released!

 

 

its so frustrating not being there to help when it soo easy lol

 

make the hangers as short as possible, so as in the shape of the ones shown. When they are in the holes put your finger in the tape deck and try and jostle the tape player out (one side at a time) once one side has broke free the other comes out easy.

 

Yeah, I know! The PF Pit Crew would have it stripped down to a bare shell by now!

 

SERIOUSLY i have tried EVERYTHING!!! And so has my neighbour who is a bloke and knows a little more than me! It aint coming out! lol

 

Have you tried pushing them in and sideways, while your friend pulls the radio out from the tape hole?

Benni.

 

is your neighbour gay lol

 

will someone for fooks sake go round to m's and get it out for her,(the radio before you start lol) just to stop us all going mad on here knowing how easy it is to do and knowing that ford are going to have her eyes out on monday!!
worse case m look for a car audio shop nearby they will do it far cheaper than ford

Does it feel in the slightest bit loose? I did mine the exact same way about two days ago in my exact same Fiesta dash, fingers in the cassette hole is the way to do it, just slide the coat hangers in a couple of inches and then pull/wiggle using the cassette hole for leverage, you don't need to touch the hangers once they're pushed in provided you can pull firmly enough on the tape hole

 

Fpmsl!! Real tears at that.

Benni.

 

ford radios dont have that 10mm nut on the back to stop them coming out do they.

 

I'm seriously considering the 4 hr drive to go do it for her! Whoever is closest just get round there asap. No way is anyone paying Ford £30 to get that out of there.

 

It's simply not possible that it won't come out unless some has superglued it in for a laugh, lol!

 

it feels like it is PROPER lodged in there!

there is no movement at all in the fascia!
