That should do the trick. The keys get inserted to disengage the spring metal detents holding the radio in. Being pulled out of the way, that hook should be able to yank on and dislodge the radio. At least that is how I get the radios out of PnP car. May need some muscle behind the yank to overcome friction. Also, take a look/feel at how the keys are engaging or not the spring. Eyes closed helps
