I fought the law and the law won

kingandyTried to remove old car stereo. Failed. Now fingers are covered with tiny cuts. BLOOD AND SWEAT.
See, I thought it needed unscrewing, but on further examination (after running around looking for a screwdriver, removing the screws, wiggling the various parts around for a bit) I decided that those big, obvious screws were in fact holding vital parts onto other vital parts. The stereo was now flapping about with no contact between the bits at the side (for pulling, I think) and the big chunky bit behind. So I screwed it back in and tried inserting the "handle" bits (really two bits of bent rough metal) that came with the new stereo. The stereo now refused to move. Hence the painful sensation inmy fingers. Am also wet from rain.
John has kindly volunteered to have a look at it later. Will keep you posted.
