Trying to remove radio from Apollo and...

[Subzerok]

Hey guys I've 89 Apollo, pretty much a Camry that I am trying to remove the radio and put a new one in, though I am having trouble removing the radio as the bottom two screws are inaccessible and im not sure how i can remove, I have no way of accessing from the front of dashboard barely enough space to fit a socket and unscrew them... What are my options is there a way to get through them or should I get a angle grinder and grind the front off.

Here is a picture of the front of it, and from feeling the back it feels like a 6mm bolt, can't fit phone through to get a picture.

Subzero. it looks like where there is supposed to be a screw there is a pop rivet with a bit of sheet metal.

Get a drill bit and drill off the rivet. Either use a 5mm bit and go straight through it but don't smash out the other end and damage anything :) Otherwise use a larger drill bit, around 10mm and take off just the head.

To fix if you know anyone with nutsets you can use them to get a threaded nut back in there, otherwise don't worry about it :)
