i got everything out.. breaking the clips on the dash surround in the process because apparently they are made of balsa wood but whatever..

Basically the main harness that goes into the deck is stuck.. how do I get the harness out? i press on the sides of the harness and pull and it wont budge! am I retarted? they are little black clips on the sides of the harness that plugs in. how do I get this bastard out? thanks

hmmm I'm pretty sure the clip for pulling it out is top and center of the clip. If you can't do it with your hands (it can be difficult) use pliars to grab that point and push down while you pull back.

flat head screw drivers are your friend
use it to gently pry it out

ahh the infomous radio bezel. Well you can always make that one work. If not a brand new one from courtesy parts.com for like $50 will set you streight. Sorry bout that man. I think maybe one out of every 50 people have a perfact radio bezel. You are NOT alone my friend.

That doesn't matter. Remount the radio to the brackets and put it in the dash, then lay the trim over it and secure it with the OE screws. The mounts to the brackets aren't required. If you looked at it logically you'd have seen that.
