hey xr6 4eva....yes there are a couple of guides on here and also dimensions for a tool you need as well......from memory you have to remove the stereo first, you will need 2 U shaped tools and push in from each side to release the clips....it helps to have a 2nd person as you need to pull the unit at the same time.....I have a series III forte and it had a tape deck as part of the double din setup and I just used the tightening spanner from my angle grinder to help lever the headunit out...once its out then remove the ash tray.....undo the 2 screws(1on each side)...then carefully pull the fascia out from the bottom and then work up the sides......I will see if I can find the how to on here

Ok - pull out the ashtray (it just slides out), in underneath where the ashtray sits are two phillips head screws undo them. Use the ends of a coathanger to undo the factory headunit and pull it out if you still have one!!
In behind where the factory headunit sits is another two screws, undo them, then the rest of the facia is just held in by clips - pull the facia from the bottom out slowly because you cant buy the clips separate
