CD 6 Player Problems - $90.00 Solution

After the third f*cking radio I bought on eBay - One the wrong spec., another the wrong radio entirely (used a Mach 1 interior shot for his listing) and the third with a D.O.A. CD player, I finally gave up and went searching for an OEM car audio repair shop. These guys know exactly what's need to fix your CD player.
They quoted me around $90 if I sent in my CD player only, so here's some tips on seperating the faceplate and radio/ CD player.

-Obtain a T08 and a T10 Torx bits (these are small! Radio Shack carries them in a kit)
-Pull on the volume knob, it pops right off
-Remove the faceplate (4 countersunk screws, carefully pop it over the 4 tabs), disconnect the small 2 pin plug
-If you want, this is a good time to clean your faceplate. Remove the circuit board by removing the gold screws and lift it out. I washed mine with mild detergent and a paint brush, rinse and blow dry with compressed air. It's just plastic at this point, allow to air dry completely.
-The CD player is held on with side screws, pretty self-explanatory.

This is what you need to send off...http://www.rivetech.com/Fordmech.html
