Tape Deck Issue
Hey, what's up? I've been looking through previous threads and it seems that no one has had this same issue I'm currently having. My tape deck is working fine but the actual mechanical part of it has sort of fallen down inside of the radio, so it's difficult to put a tape in or eject it and the stereo won't actually play any tapes since I guess it can't lock it into place or something.
I'm not really sure how I would go about fixing this, and I don't even know how to remove the radio. It's just a stock radio from all Lexus SC300s, not the fancier one.
Thanks...

Use a phillips to remove the two vertically-aligned screws. Pull off the shift ****. Pull on your cupholder door such that the cuppy part comes out. Unscrew the two screws under it. Now open your console cubby door and pull up on the center trim. You'll want to pry open the plate that surrounds the shifting area.
Pull some more and the whole thing surrounding the stereo/AC will come off. There's a few connectors that aren't too hard to unplug. Once you have that removed or out of the way, you'll have access to the screws that keep the stereo in place. You'll want to dig up some photos as I don't remember the specific cables that connect to its rear.

Park your car on a flat area, put the car in neutral with the handbrake on, and pull the plastic cover under the leather portion of your shift **** down.
