Ayup guys, any tips on getting the standard tape/cassette head unit out of the dashboard? I can't shift mine - even with the proper tools!

Is there a way in by getting the heater control panel off at all? Help! I need to get this stereo out and junked!

Thanks very much mate but mine's the one with just the tape unit and the two removal tool slots at the bottom. It won't ruddy well shift - can you get in via the heating panel underneath?
