first you need to specify what year of car you have, then you need to look in the correct section for your car, then either look up a fsm (factory service manual) or go buy a haynes manual

i didn't have to remove my stock radio because it was done for me, but usually there are 2 holes on either side of the radio. i just stick a u shaped piece of coat hanger into both sides (about 3-4 inches of length goes inside the holes) and push them outwards while pulling towards you. this should release the clips holding the radio in. now all you need is the proper harness adapter (or wiring diagram should you choose to hardwire)
good luck

What ^ He Said Or Get Ford Radio Removal Tools They Are Like Twelve Bucks If You Cant Get The Coat Hangers To Work, And Also Do Not Whatever You Do Cut Your Harness There Is An Adapter Carried By Pretty Much Every Local Shop That Will Plug Right In. By The Way If It Is Bose It Will Be A Little More Work That A Standard Radio.

Well I finally had a chance to get the radio out and well to my surprise the wire harness has been chopped up its pretty bad. If anyone has a spare laying somewhere that would be great or so simple directions on hardwiring it that works to.
