Cheapskate removal tools
Several of the removal tools can be made using a wire coat hanger.
First cut the bottom portion of the hanger into two separate pieces about 5-1/2 or 6 inches long using a pair of steel cutters.
Be sure to use steel cutters as the gauge or thickness of the hanger will damage ordinary wire cutters.
Using one of the two strait cut rods, bend a smooth rounded shape using thumbs.

Making key style radio removal tools
Making home made flat radio removal tools are easy with the right tools!
Using a flat piece of metal, in this case we are using a piece of plumber strap that is sometimes included with many aftermarket radios for support.
Trimming the key style radio removal tools.
Using a pair of tin snips, cut the proper length of the metal strip.
The magic is done!
Using a pair of tin snips, cut a small angle on the end that will enter the radio removal port on the radio face.
I never said they would look pretty..... just it would work!
