The bezel is held on by 2 7mm screws. Pulling that off (a 30 second job) gives you access to both sides of the hole. Working from both sides (and adding a little tape) you can get a MUCH more secure fit then you can just trying to snap everything into place from the front . With the bezel off, you also don't need the removal tool. Just squeeze the tabs.

I’m kind of a noob when it comes to stereo wiring but I am quite handy. Installing a new radio in my 09 ranger. Question: how come at first u had 2 harnesses connecting into your stock radio. But then someone turned into 1 ? 2:91 – I see 2, then 3:18 I see 1?
The coat hangers should go into the holes exactly 1.25 inches deep from the faceplate (on a 2003 ranger). I put a mark on the coat hanger wire to gauge the depth.

How difficult would it be to install a 2007 Lincoln MKZ navigation radio into a 2005 Ranger pickup , the Ranger has a double din in it , any help would be greatly appreciated.
My factory stereo in my 98 Ranger was just AM?FM with no cassette or cd. In the back it had the antenna plug, 1 wire harness plug and two wires hard wired into the back of the radio. The installation went fine and the new radio works like it should but now when the truck is keyed in accessory or run the dash lights and parking lights are constantly on. Is there something I need to do with the two wires that were hard wired to the factory radio to get my parking lights and dash lights back to normal?
