After you pull the Radio out, unclip the faceplate all the way around. Remove the power **** and remove the nut underneath, turn it over and remove the small screws that are holding the display board to the faceplate.

Carefully seperate the board from the faceplate and support it so it isn't dangling from the ribbon cable, now unclip the white reflector plate from the back of the faceplate and you should be good to go...

Oh yeah, after you remove the white reflector plate, you'll need to remove the blue filter also... sorry.

Follow this down to 3G or so...

If the screw is all the way out, I would try and grab it with needlenose plyers to pull it out. You can also just go ahead and remove the door panel with the screws still behind, as long as you're sure they are totally out of the nuts. Just get em before you re-install it! Oh! Hey, becareful around the snap pins, I really recomemnd you use the proper tool or a flat bar or something to put equal pressure on the sides of the pins and against the door frame...
