its not removed by two prongs but two pieces of slim metal (shaped like the end of a tape measure only thinner, will be about 2inches long) and they slot in on the extreme right and left hand sides of the head unit just inside the outer cage. If you dont have any release keys in the old box just go to halfords and ask one them to take it out.

cheers mate...u rekon i could try n put a knife behind or sumnthin 2 get it out mate?? cos need to do it 2day

 

[Jamie]

you dont really want to bend the cage too much, the keys are usually only about 3/4 of a centimetre wide and go in a couple of inches. the best alternative may be to try a pair of tweesers but bend them so its only one prong going in and release one side at a time. just wiggle the piece of metal around until you here it click.
