Glovebox:
Open. Remove all stuff. Reach back and find the two 'ears' that stop the
glove box from coming further out. Bend the ears far enough that they will
get past the stopper thingies. Now the glovebox will go all the way to the
floor and spill out the contents if you did not remove all the stuff. Now
look at the hinge. See the key slot. Align the key and the slot and slide
the hinge apart. Remove glovebox.

Radio:
Get $2.00 removal tool at Wal-Mart. Or get a coat hanger. Cut two 10 or 12
inch pieces. Bend both into 'U's so that the ends of the 'U's are spaced the
same as the vertical distance between the holes at the corners of the radio
face plate. Insert 'U's into the holes. Angle then outward (I think). Gently
but firmly play with the pressure and placement of the 'U's. The catches
should release and then you can slide the radio out. Be careful with the
ends of the 'U's... they will scratch plastic.

Have fun.
