Default Help swapping radio door

Hey guys, I bought a CR radio door to swap onto my 03 but I can't get these damn pins out! I don't have a tool or anything around the house that fits. I know this is short notice but is there anyone that can help me out tonight? I live in plantation and I am willing to drive to pines or so....

I'm driving up to Orlando tomorrow but in the AM so I won't be able to meet with the caravan. If not, maybe someone can help me out at the meet?

It often helps to remove the center console.

I have the radio trim removed... I just need help getting the swinging door off. There's two pins and a spring that keep it attached. I am trying to attach the door itself to the radio trim panel, but first have to remove the old one

It just pulls out.
It comes out in 1 piece the door with the trim. Open the door and pull from one side
Thats how I have done it numerous times

I had honestly forgot all about it. I've had the piece sitting in my garage and just remembered I had it seeing this thread again. lol.

I might have to try the nail method, just gotta find one small enough without damaging the pin holes.

yeah I tried the eye glasses screwdriver but that didn't work. It was too thin of metal to get any force to push that darn thing out. The allen key is an option too since I do have those at home. I'll give it a try and see if it works tonight. Thanks for the help peeps.
