Removing Tape Unit (FD)

Alright, so managed to make some coat hangers work to slide the CD deck out and I have the tap deck 1/2 out. I need to somehow disconnect the antenna, and I am told there is something that pops open on the right side, can someone help? As well I am struggling disconnecting the plug in the back of the deck, but I'm sure with more playing around eventually it will give. Thanks

The radio head with the tape should come out far enough to get at the antenna connection. The problem is usually when the unit hasn't been "out" and the rubber cone piece on the back is tight into the bracket.

I used a large screwdriver from the drivers' side up underneath to pry the head unit loose. Once loose, the antenna plug just unplugs.

You can see the open area where the rubber "cone" bumper in the back of the head unit tends to get stuck.

panels on the passenger side knee area pop off, if you reach up behind there there are 2 separate antenna leads to disconnect, as I recall..
