  Q: How do I remove and install the radio/CD player and speakers in a Ford Thunderbird?

  A: Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. For the radio/CD player removal, remove the instrument cluster bezel. For theft protection, the radio receiver and CD player assemblies are retained in the instrument panel by special clips. Releasing these clips requires the use of two Ford removal tools T87P-19061-A, or two short lengths of coathanger wire bent into U-shapes. Insert the tools into the holes at the corners of the radio/CD player assembly until you feel the internal clips release. With the clips released, flex outward simultaneously on both tools and pull the assembly out instrument panel, disconnect the Antenna and electrical connectors and remove it from the vehicle. For installation, plug in the electrical connectors and slide the radio or CD player along the track and into the instrument panel until the clips can be felt snapping in place. For door mounted speakers, remove the door trim panel. Remove the mounting screws, withdraw the speaker, unplug the electrical connector and remove the speaker from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal. For rear quarter panel mounted speakers, pry off the speaker grille. Remove the retaining screws, withdraw the speaker, unplug the electrical connector and remove the speaker from the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of removal.
