156 Stereo removal tool

[m-a-r-k-o]

Hi all. I need to gain access to the rear of my stereo. Before I start cutting up old wire hangers or garden wire, I wondered if anyone local to me has a set they could let me use and return.
I made the mistake of asking Halfords in Newark if they would release the HU for me, or let me do it myself - the blood ran from this particular jobswirth's face faster than you could say "we'll sell you one instead".
I know they are cheap but i'd rather not give them my money at all.
I live near A46 between Lincoln and Newark and am very happy to travel and collect or even pay postage.

Sorry but I can't help, lets hope someone else can.

You're not from Yorkshire like wat i is are you ? I certainly know my way round a quid note !

Yes, I still have some...........

Ma and Pa are from Yorkshire so I guess I can thank them for being thrifty. I've lost count of the number of tools I bought that only get used once - better to spend the money on the Alfa than with Halfords!

Got a few if you want to have a couple?

Had my stereo out to find a rattle, found it, cured it, now I've got another rattle!

I'm in Cleethorpes but I can mail them to you if you want?

PM me with your address if you do?

Ive got some, spalding is a bit far to go for them though. Before i had those i used some long reach allen keys in the 4 holes and it came right out

Well there you go then !

Every time I need an " odd " tool I end up buying it despite the feeling that I already have one, one that I can't find of course. A week later the original turns up............

Must be a malignant Tool Fairy living in my place...........

Can't believe that you have a rattle in a new Alfa Nick !!!!!!

It wouldn't be an Alfa if it didn't rattle!... would it?

Combination of sports (stiff) suspension, low profile tyres but mostly crap pot holed roads

Thanks for the offers chaps. The wait got too much so I used some strong garden wire - job done!
