987 Radio removal problem

So I purchased a wired FM modulator so that I can get an aux input. I needed to get to the back of it to rewire the antenna lead to pass through the FM modulator.

There are several how-tos with pictures out there for radio removal on a 987. I viewed them, understood them, got the needed torx and wrenches and went to work.

However I cannot get the 4 fingers pushed in. The little plactic gizmos that are supposed to rotate and push them in do nothing. As I manipulated it, one fell right out. Its as if they were not installed correctly at the factory.

I am thinking about cutting off the fingers but not sure I can get a tool in there to do it.

Anyone have similar problems? Any ideas? Help, help help!

Once again, this is a 987 not a 986; the mounting and removal are completely different.

TIA
Alan

I have a CDR24. but it does not matter. Both the CDR24 and the PCM remove the same way.
