Kenwood (as do most aftermarket radios) supplies a "removal tool" with their
decks. It's essentially a flat piece of metal that slides the spring tabs on
the sides in so you can remove the deck. It's kind of like a drawer slide
lock except you can't access it from the side. Check the manual for your
deck (maybe ask your brother :) to see what it looks like. If you don't have
it go to http://www.kenwoodusa.com/support/simple.aspx?men=2&M2=69 and
search for your deck to download the manual. If the link doesn't work just
go to www.kenwoodusa.com then click on the Support tab.
Good luck.

Subject: removing aftermarket radio?
it's a '95 F150.
my brother was kind enough to put a kenwood head unit in place of the crappy
oem model. now I'd like to get at the back of the thing, and I can't figure
out how to do it. the oem one slides out using those 'loop/coat hanger'
tools on either side of the unit. the aftermarket one doesn't seem to have
holes for that. is there some trick I'm missing, or are they all different?
thanks.
