Aftermarket HU on a 5th Gen

Does anyone have the install write-up for a 5th gen head unit? The link in the FAQ is broken.

OK, I've got the harness put together and the dash removed. I'm having difficulty pulling the factory harness out of the stock head unit. Any tips on removing them more easily?

Stupid me was pulling on the wrong tabs. I've got the whole unit out now. Now the screws holding the stock HU in place don't want to budge. I even tried using a power drill and they won't budge. Any suggestions? Will a little WD-40 ruin the stock HU?

Same thing happened to me, I finally got 3 screws out and the 4th was stripped, I had to actually turn the bracket with the screw in place, then finally it came loose.

I had to drill my screws out to remove the headunit! I think Nissan "lock-tites" the mounting bolts on all of their Bose units!
