Take a day trip to Liverpool. They will also have your wheels while you've stopped at the traffic lights.

Daddy daycare is correct about the wire coat hanger trick. You can buy the actual tool for a couple of dollars if you want.

I have actually used four nails, one in each hole, to release the stereo head before. Anything that will press the release tabs will work!

if its got the four little hole on the sides just got to halfords and get a removal tool, or use very thin screw drivers to dislodge the clips and then pull.hard. My fiesta one took about 2 mins to get out like that, just make sure you pull straight cause its slid on to a rail at the top and if its not quite straight it will keep getting stuck

Its a 10 second job with the ford radio removal tools. Go to any car stereo shop or circuit city, best buy, ect and ask them to help you out real quick. If you can find a set of the tools yourself, they will only cost a few dollars.
the tools have a lip that lets you pull out on the radio as it unlocks the clips, and its hard to rig something up at home.

Either use tiny screw drives or ask if anybody locally comes from Liverpool.

There are 4 holes on the faceplate of the stereo, 2 on each side. You can buy a tool for a couple bucks at the local auto parts store or you can do what i do and cut 2 4-6 inch pieces of wire coathanger, bend them into a U shape and insert each end into a hole. Give it a little push and the stereo should release from the dash.
