Jammed car Stereo

[abf2]

I am trying to replace the car stereo on my Corsa however it appears firmly jammed in place.

Grub screws have been removed, removal keys have been used (I know its not me being daft as even Halfords guys could not get it out). In other words it is firmly stuck.

Short of taking a hammer to it, what are my options ?

If I remove my center console like here http://forums.corsa-b.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=13491 Will that allow me to push it out from behind ?

Any advice or tips getting it out are welcome

I'd say that only way to get out is removing surrounding plastics to properly get into it, that way releaseing where it's held in.

if you remove the fag lighter you can see the underside of the radio, so that should give you a bit of help towards getting it out.
