I have inserted pins in the 4 removal holes on the sides of my 2001
Mazda Protoge radio.  But, I can't tell how to grasp the radio to pull
it out.  Someone suggested tilting the pins inward, but they didn't say
in which plane to tilt the pins.  The radio is tightly in the dash and
I can't feel any release of the radio when the pins are inserted.  I
can feel a give on the pins after they are in about an inch.  Didn't
get much practical advice from the Mazda web site, so posting here.

Advice appreciated from someone who has performed this simple operation
(radio removal).  I got good advice previously on my Pathfinder cabin
air filter removal so hoping for more of the same.

Tilt the pins outward to the right and left so the tips are pressing
against the radio. Wiggle when pulling gently. It will give.

Jim V:

Thanx for the direction to tilt the pins - that's exactly what I needed
to know.
