How to Remove the Stereo From a 1993 Nissan Truck

The 1993 Nissan Hardbody truck was a very popular mini truck, so much so that the body style ran from 1986 through 1995. But back in 1993, a tape player was a factory option, and CD players weren't even available from the factory. Now you can have navigation, Bluetooth, MP3 connectivity and even video. If you want to update your stereo, you can do it with a few special tools, but first you have to remove the old one.

Things You'll Need

• Phillips head screwdriver

Instructions

1. Pull out the ashtray with your hand. There is a silver tab at the end of the ashtray. Push down on the tab and pull out the ashtray the rest of the way.

2. Remove the screw revealed behind the ashtray with a Phillips head screwdriver. Remove the two screws at the top of the climate controls then the two additional ones at the bottom of the front bezel, just below the stereo, using the Phillips head screwdriver.

3. Pull out the bezel around the stereo and unplug the power wire leading to the cigarette lighter with your hands.

4. Unscrew the stereo from the dashboard with the Phillips head screwdriver. Pull the stereo out of the dash and unplug the wiring harness and the antenna with your other hand.
