Radio Removal

Help

Can anybody tell me how to remove the radio on a 91 Legacy. It's gone very quiet although sometimes I can hear it faintly. I was wondering whether any of the leads have come free. I've spotted the two screws under the cup holder and the screw at the back of the ashtray - can you help me locate any others and procedure to remove the radio?

Thanks

There are two more screws on both sides toward the back of the radio. You have to remove the plastic trim around the radio to get to them.

To remove the plastic trim, there's two screws behind the cup holder, two screws that face upwards (you need to take out the ashtray to get at them). Once those are out, you can remove the plastic trim.

 

The screw in the back of the ashtray. Loosen it slighty, don't unscrew it all the way. Then you can remove the ashtray mount section. The metal cage around the radio has 6 screws. The radio antenna disconnects further down the antenna lead, rather then at the back of the radio.
