Need a Ford OEM Ford radio removal tool set. I think the part #URT-460 or the likes. NOT THE PLASTIC, the real stuff (steel).

If you hit the catches correctly, it would fall out of the dash if you tipped the car up. It should come out effortlessly.

I heard that you could use 4 nails.

Yes 4x 6d finish nails. They are kinda too short and a pain to retrieve after the deck comes out.

3 out of 4 were easy i sort of missed the lower left and i wasnt sure how it really worked so i just had to keep messing with it.

That's exactly what the little bumps on the ends of the true removal tools are for... So you can feel it when they 'catch'.

So, I guess that brings this discussion full circle doesn't it!!!
