Default Stock Radio

So I've been working on getting a double din radio in my 99 DII, and the dash piece came out great. small problem though...how do you get the stock radio out without having the tools from LR to do it. no stereo shops near me, and the closest LR dealer is about 75 miles away.
any way to make a tool that will accomplish this?

thanks in advance guys

yes its a kit that they sell to remove radios i work at best buy and i paid like 30 for a full set of european keys and one of my co-workers paid $3 for a set of keys at walmart its scosche brand. they work great cuz we tried his keys to seee if they would take out my radio and did it with no issue the only thing u might need is when u put the keys in try to pull from the corners of the radio to loosen up the radio cuz it tends to get stuck

Default RE: Stock Radio

already had the tv from my other car that the lease is up on, so no real money out of pocket. i got it all in, and i noticed a few things. the volume control seems to be way off. have it on maybe 3 or 4 on the head unit and its kinda loud. in my other car it needed to be on 15 to sound the same.
also, i never heard back on the constant wire and ignition wire. are they reversed on land rovers??
