removing original stereo from 94 camry

[teddyc]

Hello. I have a 94 6 cyl. camry xle in which I want to remove the original stereo to clean the antenna contact. Where are the 4 bolts located to remove the stereo?. I can only find 3 and the stereo won't budge. Please help

There are 2 below and 2 on top, I believe the one you are talking about is the top left one (Looking at it from the front). It's the same size as the others, 8mm socket. It's in the same location as the one adjacent to it, it's just deep in there. I would recommend a deep socket 8mm and a 3 inch extention along with your socket wrench. Shine some light in there and you'll see it right away Best of luck!

P.S. If you don't mind me asking, what are you replacing it with? What are your plans for audio upgrades? I'm a little curious

^ What projektvertx said. Just an FYI. Don't drop it. It's easy to do; don't ask me how I know this. What I found that makes removing that last 8MM hex head bolt easier without dropping it, is to wedge some electrical tape inside the socket. It holds the head of that hex head screw tighter for removal. If you do drop it you will probably never see it again without dissassembling the bottom of the dash. I replaced mine with pan head phillips recessed screws, since I have a locking phillips driver.
