billet radio & ac *****

i just got some billet radio and ac ***** for my c5 z06. i know the hard way that nothing is ever as simple as it looks, and so a question: is there a trick to removing the oem *****? do you just pull them straight out with pliers and a soft touch? similarly, any tricks to sticking the new ones on? i am hoping that these, some polished stainless sill covers, and a billet brake handle will provide some subtle color to the interior.

thanks in advance from a new guy.

I installed billet radio and ac ***** in my Vert. There is no secret to pulling out the stock *****, just pull them straight out with your hands.

Its a great looking mod.

I got mine from SS Inserts; West Coast Corvettes also sells the ac *****.

Thanks to all for the suggestions and the photos.
