I need instructions on how to remove a stock 99 ford escort radio.

i've been installing car audio for about 6 years, and yes there are 4 holes but you dont really need the correct tools to remove the radio, you can do it with two small screwdrivers one side at a time! after removing it, if you intend to replace with an aftermarket unit it is worth buying an ISO adapter (about £10) to convert the wiring from ford to standard ISO with out having to cut any wires, in doing this you will by able to re-install the original unit when you come to sell the vehicle

You need special tools to release the deck/bezel assembly. There are four holes, two on each side of the deck, in which two u-shaped rods are inserted at the same time to catch and release the whole assembly. I found a set at wal-mart. circuit city probably has them as well.
