Use 4x cooks matches, push them into holes and then pull out.

A long link but there is lots of choice
Some radios have Allen screws blocking the removal holes too.
Lots of types too, I have the standard U shaped ones and one! for kenwood, if thats any use - castletown/thurso.
About £4 from Autoparts or Overloch - probably cheaper than petrol to borrow them.

Thanks everyone, I did try using corn-on-the-cob holders but they didn't work LOL

Just checked the eBay link (thanks Davem) I found a set for £1.39 inc postage! I searched for them on ebay the other week and found none

There's different types of tool depending on the stereo. I had a right job getting my old one out.
