Default Help removing radio

I bought a Vais SL2i-UP and am in the middle of the install. I removed the seat heater switch and the top cover for the console. I see the 2 bolts on the bottom of the radio but don't know how to get to the top bolts. I am afraid to pull any harder on the climate control assembly. Can anyone help with directions?

You have to pull hard. Wearing rubber gloves helps.

Thanks guys. The write up was great. I figured out if I pulled more from the top of the unit, it came out easier. Everything works as advertised but the door covering the radio no longer works when I push the button. Everything is plugged in but I guess I messed up a wire or something. I am going to enjoy the music and try to find that problem when it cools off. It is way to hot here in Texas. Thanks again for the quick replies.
