Did the same thing with mine used the tools but ended up ripping off faceplate, checked placement after and the tools were not pressing correctly on removal tabs guess try wiggling them around or just do what i did and then prise the bastard out with needle nose pliers and a flat screwdriver lol.

do what monty recomended all car audio places can do it for free usually, takes them 30 seconds.

other wise make sure the lower clip on each side is completely out if not it will get stuck, it should just slide out with out much force to the head unit.
