Stereo Removal Tool
Any tips and tricks on removing the stock stereo from a 1996 Hijet? Is there a compatible stereo removal tool that works?
Most of the stereos are screwed to the bracket which is further attached to the truck. So eBay offers you a couple of radios which have their brackets attached with them.
The stock radio is screwed to the bracket on the dash, which is screwed to the truck. Remove the dash by pulling it out, which is not too hard. There are just two screws going up, in front of the gauge cluster. Pull them out, and then run a trim puller around popping the clips loose. As you bring it towards you you’ll find it attached by the wiring to the switches. They all have polarized quick connect clips. Un-clip them and the dash just wiggles up past the steering wheel and comes out. Stock stereo removal toolkits are of no help, I guess on Hijet.
