- I made a video to help explain how the Ford Factory Radio removal tools work. This radio was removed from a 2001 Ford Escape. Im pretty sure the radios are standardized for the past 10 years or so. Not sure of the exact dates, but im sure you can google that info.
Hour video was the best on how to get it out. No one else even mentioned that you need to move the removal tool outward. Thanks for your help
Your video not only saved me the cost and delivery charge but assisted me in installing my XM Sirius radio within 10 minutes. A Heartfelt thank you is in order!
dam i was pushing INWARD instead of out and was scratchin my head like bro am i dumdum?? thank you for clarifying. and yes, i am indeed dumdum
Thanks, seeing what's behind the face plate is what helps!
@QuantumDesignz I used a dremel tool with a cut off wheel. I just cut a small groove into the wire. It is pretty thin, so just take your time and be careful not to cut yourself. You may be able to use a hack saw if you don't have a dremel tool. If you don't have a dremel tool, It would be much cheaper to purchase the removal tools from a dealer. They are about $5 new. I just made my own because I didn't want to wait for delivery. Good Luck!
You the best! Simple answer for simple problem
I'm in Australia and have a Falcon AUII 2001 and it worked, didn't have a dremel so had to make do with a chainsaw chain grinder and flat file but it worked !! Thanks Mate !!
Thanks a lot. I purchased the tools and had been pulling straight back. The tool kept pulling out. After seeing your video, I walked to the truck and pulled it out in about 10 seconds. Our truck is a 2007 model and it worked.
I actually just removed my ford factory radio using 4 3-inch steel nails. Just put one in each hole & spread them out using my thumb. Worked like a charm. I made no notch.
SEE!!! THANKYOU! -_- I've been looking everywhere how to release these radios and all the 'help' website say "Just use a nail,alan key etc and it will come free..." NONE of them mention a notch. Cheers !!!
How do you remove the tool when it gets stuck in the radio holes?
I'm literally sat in my van removing my old stereo as I type this. Watching this vid saved me a lot of bother. Ta!
Огромное спасибо за исчерпывающее объяснение!
Thank You. You saved me much time and trouble. It worked like a charm.
God bless you, my friend!!!! You save my live today. Hiper-easy to do. I agree with maawl, because I did the same thing that him. Exactly the same. Greeting!!!!
Thanks for the demonstration, very helpful.
Ah-ha I was planning to make a couple from coat hangers too.
Just tried a few small screwdrivers but can get any purchase when I ping the clips back.
Thought it best to double check on the old internets the way the clips work first :)
Thanks! Saw your other video and asked for this one! Thanks again.
used factory tool but pushed in too far. radio WILL NOT come out. At least your video explains how the tabs work and I can start trying to figure out what to do next (good work by the way, the close ups help a LOT). Can you provide the exact length the rod goes in from the front of the radio?
THANK YOU.
Now I understand
Thanks! I had tried it with just the coat hanger and no notches and it wouldn't work so I strongly suggest notching them as in the video....
thanks a lot this really helped me
Perfect video
Do you insert the wire tools into the stereo slots with the "notched ends" facing the outside of the vehicle or towards the stereo? I am having difficulty removing my stereo and knowing this will help!
inwards
How did u make the notches i couldn't see it to well
Thank you!
Do you (or the owner of the truck) still have the factory stereo? If it works right I may buy it if the price is right.
Thanks, Stan
Oh though now I see someone mention Allen keys, that might work well with the ball ended ones.
Good video anyway.
Your video helped! Thanks!
I have the 03 escape and 2 sets of din tools and the left side will not come out. I've tried every depth and still a no go..so frustrated right now !!
Michael Irvine Sr. Did you ever get it?Having the exact same problem.
thanks mate, that helps heaps
Nice vid ! thx ! helpful !
Thank you so much!
Nope, I have the tools stuck in the radio don't know how to get them out
Muy buen video
I found this video is useful. However, My ford 2002 Laser has different socket. Same method but more tricky. I end up disassemble the whole lot in the front section of working out how to take it out............................Hints, my model needs 3 screw drivers on each side or 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom. the middle hole can be ignored.
Now how to get them out
Yesss...
wish i would have seen this vid before i ripped the radio out my sport trac
doesnt help me since my stupid ass radio clips are broken no matter what i do that bitch wont move so looks like im gonna have to bring it somewhere “professional” to get it done... it was so much easier to do it in my 05 F250 with removing the dash..
PLS HELP HOW I THE TOOLS OUT OF RADIO NOW !
Does anyone know how to remove a factory radio from a ford laser lxi 2001 ? Struggling here 🥲
