Hey, I've never changed the stereo in a car before, and I was just wondering how I'd go about removing the stock stereo. Once I have that out I should have no problems.

Remove the stock stereo on a Justy its very easy an fun,
I put a new Pionner stereo by my self!!!
Also I put an amplifier and Subwofer, and It was a cool proyect for the weekend.
Dont be scare to do it, only look for the ground wire (black) and the "acc" wire (yellow). Put a mark on this wires when you are removing the old stereo.
By the way try to install new speakers!!!

I guess what I really need to know is, what screws do I need to unscrew, and in what order, and where are they located, cause the car has such a fragile interior and it's not like I can just go out and by the interior parts if I break them.

So looking at the blowout in the manual, looks like the radio panel (panel around the radio) just snaps in, so you should be able to pry it out somehow. Next, the center panel has to come out (this is the panel around the radio and climate controls). This looks like it may have screws in it, but it is hard to tell by the picture. Once that is off, there are two screws holding the radio in from the front, then the radio will pull out the front to allow access to the connectors on the back. A tip, if you need to access the area behind the radio, you can do so by pulling out the glove box. Swing the glove box down, then remove the stoppers at the rear of the glove box (think they come out by prying out the center section of the stopper, then prying the whole stopper out), this allows the whole glove box to pivot down, and gives you a great access point.
I will try to look at the dash I have lying in the barn tonite after the kids are in bed and see if I can get a better idea how the radio and center panel come out.

You can use a small thin flat blade pocket screwdriver to remove the rectangular plastic panel from around the radio. There attachment clips are on the right and left side of the plastic panel that surrounds the radio. (Carefully put the blade of the screwdriver in the space between the radio face and the plastic panel. You can do this on the right or left side whichever side is easier to get the screw diver in. Next, start to GENTLY pry against the radio face. This should cause the rectangular trim panel will pop out toward you on that side, then just grab it and take it out. NOTE..You DO NOT have to remove the panel that covers the heater controls to remove the radio! Just use a long #2 Phillips head screwdriver (Magnetic tip preferred) and unscrew the 2 screws (One on the left and one on the right, they should be gold in color) Then just grab the front of the radio and slide it out the front. There will be one large connector at the back along with the antenna lead, unhook those and your done! This is super easy! You should have no trouble Remember..Unhook the neg battery cable before you start and pry Carefully! Good Luck, Jim

You beat me to it Jim, I just got back from the barn. Man..I'm Sorry.. I hate it that you had to go out to the barn. I had to attend graduation for my students last night and didn't check the board till late. I wish I could have saved you the trip. Jim
