How does the dash come apart to swap stereo?

I'm going to swap my factory radio, but can't figure out the dash. Can the old setero come out without taking the dash apart? It all looks like one piece so I'm not sute how it comes off. Thanks for any help!

If I remember correctly on my '92 there are 2 screws near the floor on either side that need to come out, and 2 more at the top of the panel, tucked in under the dash pad. There may also be one in the ash tray compartment.

In the area of the radio and the box below it 2 long prongs reach back and clip into the dash frame, be careful not to break them. A slight inward pressure, toward the vertical center of the panel should disconnect them.

The unit is a single piece from the floor up to the dash. The stock radio is held in by 4 screws easily accessible from the front once the panel is removed. Undo those and it should slide right out.

Good luck.
