I don't know if it's the same setup as my 1995 900 or not, but see if this describes what yours is like. The radio has 4 holes and the SID has 2. If so, this is how I removed mine. Take a wire coathanger, cut both ends off, so that you end up with a pair of LONG "U" shaped pieces. Reform to a true "U" shape to conform to the pairs of holes in the radio, deburr the ends. You can buy this tool at Crutchfield if you want. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-gMkCGM9dy2h/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?g=754&avf=N&search=installation%20tools Here's how it should look: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-gMkCGM9dy2h/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=754&id=morephotos&pi=2&i=120865618&display=L#Tab The tool needs to depress a couple of clips to release the unit. You may need to push outward on the tools as you pull on the radio. On mine, I can stick a couple of fingers in to the cassete slot to get a grip on the radio. If you need to disconnect the plugs on the back of the radio, make sure you have your radio code available. Also, you will lose all your presets. Be VERY careful with the antenna wire plug: it breaks quite easily. To remove the SID, I bent to tools back to approx. 90ƒ and just used one end in the single holes. If I recall correctly, it was somewhat tricky to release the clips on the SID. You may be able to get one hand thru the radio opening and reach up and push the SID outward as you release the clips.
