How do I get the radio out?
1983 300SD. I am trying to find the flasher / directional. I want to look behind the console but I cannot get the radio out. Do I need a special tool for the clips underneath the radio? If so do I buy them or can I make them?

DP,
Once you have the ashtray and ashtray carriage out, reach in the hole and apply gentle pressure to the back of the radio. It should slide right out at you with minimal effort. If I remember correctly the connector on the back are socket specific so it is hard to screw up the reattachment.

Thank you Whunter. One more question. I slid out the guages but I cannot get them past the steering wheel to get full access. Where exactly is the flasher and should I or could I access it from underneath?

Sorry; not possible from under dash.

It is a major PIA to locate, and the Speedometer must come out. Of all possible positions, there is only one position where the Speedometer will come out. I fought with my Speedometer assembly for half an hour to get it out without damage. Have a great day. whunter |

I finally did it. The speedometer unit came out easily this time because I accidently had the steering wheel in the right position. The lage gap straight up. I came out nice with a little twist. The flasher was behind a group of wires in the place you had indicated. Thank you it works great.
I also would still like to know about the radio removal. It does not want to come out. Are there special tools I need? |

Yes; special tools needed.

If your radio is still the Becker, with the ashtray out, there are two small pull-down metal tabs on the bottom of the mounting box. Pull them down and the radio will slide forward. Hope this helps.

As I use to have an 83 240D RIP (sniff, sniff), the answer is yes. No special tools needed.

Radio removal tools
I use special tools to make the job faster and easier for me.
It is possible to make your own tools or R&R without a special tool. As a working master mechanic, I must look at possible damage, speed and cost benefit. The following graphic shows the two types of special radio removal tools that I use most. The top one is thin sheet metal. The bottom one is round rod with bulbs at the end.
