Default Installing a Radio, need a little help.

I'm in the process of exchanging my Bose Cassette for a Bose CD. I have the console and dash trim removed and the 7 mm bolts off of the radio. How do I remove the antenna and the other connectors? Are there any tabs I need to depress to pull the wires off of the old unit? There are two groups of harnesses and the antenna wire, they are all pretty firmly attached. I don't want to pull very hard and there isn't a lot of room to see the back of the unit, although I am looking at the back of my Bose CD, if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks

The wiring harnesses have tabs that must be pressed while wiggling the harness to remove it. The antenna just pulls out, without nearly the amout of force required for the harness.
