The head units are def in there pretty good. I know mine required a good pull! But deforming the keys sounds a bit too hard. After getting mine pulled out, it was clear that the keys are designed to pull the clips inward (towards the center of the head unit) so that it can clear the frame. I would try pushing the deck in all the way. Pushing the keys in hard/more and then tugging again.

If you wreck your head unit, I'm looking for a replacement faceplate! :-)

Thanks again for selling me those struts. They are all installed and made a huge difference to my ride.
