Default It is *extremely* easy. Radio removal keys inserted in all four corners
with the short side in. Pull out radio. Voila!

I tried nail files like suggested and no luck. Can I break something if I push too far in?

forget the nail files, get the right tools and it's easy

use the tops of hanging file folders, easier than the tools

Yes, you can break the retainer clips if you push them in too far.

My clips were broken during a trim swap-I ripped it out the old fashion way and bought a used one
