CD stuck in 2002SE
CD in player when car died and failed to keep running after jump start because battery died suddenly. Car towed to dealer and sat in HOT SUN for day and a half before battery was replaced. Is there any way to coax the CD out without having to pull the radio/tape/cd unit? How tough is it to pull the unit? In looking at the dash it seems like a bear. Any and all suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Its not hard at all to pull out the unit. You take the front plastic piece off by eveningly pulling on it and then pull out the unit I cant recall if there is screws that you need to take off first before you pull the unit I believe there is.

you have to remove 2 screws that are above your dash. look past your steering wheel and then up if you understand what im saying. those are where the screws are. remove those and then you'll be able to take off the plastic that covers the radio & A/C controls
install an aftermarket HU while you're at it

Thanks for your replies. I think I found the two fastners up under the steering wheel. It looks like quite a bit of the front dash will be uncovered including the plastic in front of the steering wheel. I will give it a try when the temperature gets back to bareable here in NJ.
