Valenki, I just took mine out this weekend, and had the same concern about breakign that $100 piece of plastic - it's pretty tough though! I found it easiest to get it loose at the area at the bottom of the guages first - then I worked my way around - the hardest part was the bottom by the ashtray. As I recall, the radio and CD changer were just held in by screws that were easily accessible once you take off the dash trim panel.
