Ok done! It worked perfectly.
8- I removed those bolts, but needed an extension for my socket wrench. I bought a 10" extension from AutoZone for about $8.
9- Gently pull out the surprisingly heavy radio/CD Changer unit. The wood panel will be attached on top.
10- Disconnect the many wires plugged into the back of the CD Changer
---ok this is where i got sort of lucky i think----
11- I took the whole radio unit up to my house to open it up. I removed the screws that atttach the wood cover to the unit. Then I took out the screws on the side and top that keep the metal top connected. This took much more time than expected as many of the screws were stuck. Luckily I didn't strip any.
12- Disconnect the face of the radio, which i think had a small screw or two, but mainly was plastic pressure clips. Be careful, as there is a small ribbon cable that connects to the radio unit. I disconnected this from the faceplate side by flipping down the small plastic bar that holds it with a very small screwdriver. Make sure to reconnect this before putting it all back together.
13- Once open i was immediately saddened by how complicated it was and i felt i was in way over my head. The cd's were all on their plastic beds, but were stuck up a bit it seemed. There were so many small springs and things that i knew that one wrong move would mean i would have to buy a new one.
13- For me, one of the plastic beds had fallen down, off of the grooves on the side that hold it. I gently lifted it up and - click - all the other five fell down into place. I had no idea what i had done, but it seemed like maybe that was the problem so i put it all back together.
14- after reassembling everything in reverse order, i turned on the car and the cd changer made alot of noise for about a minute. I thought for sure i had broken something. Then all of a sudden, it started playing. I slowly went disc by disc and everythign worked fine. When i tried ejecting a disc, i noticed that the flap was stuck, but one quick tap and it loosened.
15- Everything is working now, weeks later.
YMMV, your mileage may vary. But good luck.
