"I don't really have step by step instructions for removing the head, but you need to remove the ashtray and then the two screws hidden behind it. After that, the Zebrano trim panel pulls out. The head unit is held in place by two tabs underneath, so if you use a small flat blade screw driver, you can bend them down (be careful, they are plastic and you don't want to break them) to slide the head unit out). Anyway, after installing the new unit, I realized that now only the right output on my old deck was blown but the left side had a reduced output as well. So, now I had a new fully functional head unit."
