Radio Removal

[n14t20k11]

I'm trying to remove the radio of my 1990 ls400. I got the wood plate off around the shifter and the air outputs. I read online that you need to reach under the ash tray and pull and the clips will release. I did this, but it wouldn't release and i'd like to know if anyone has a better description of what to do or how exeactly to get off the wood plate around the ash tray so I can get to the two lower screws. Any advice would help thanks.

I assume you are following instructions such as these for the 90-94 LS: http://carstereohelp.com/stereoremovalLexusLS400str.htm

Maybe you need to pull harder. I removed the radio in the 90 LS I used to have numerous times and don't remember it being difficult to remove the ashtray. If I remember correctly (and I may not!), I think it just snaps into place.
