Removing Head Unit from Astra VAN

Hi, I've been trying to remove the head unit in an Astra van but with no luck. Had coat hangers fashioned as a removal tool but it just wouldn't budge. I've removed stock head units before but it's just not budging. Took a trip to Halfords to see if the proper tool would work, the regular radio fitter even came out but had…

Hi,
I've been trying to remove the head unit in an Astra van but with no luck. Had coat hangers fashioned as a removal tool but it just wouldn't budge. I've removed stock head units before but it's just not budging. Took a trip to Halfords to see if the proper tool would work, the regular radio fitter even came out but had no luck and said that because it's a van, that the stock radio is probably secured better as it'd be more likely to be swiped so he said there'd usually be 4 bolts holding it in. Now I've just seen on an Astra forum that to remove the head console cover, you have to first remove 2 screws on either side of the head unit, so you must take the head unit out first... but I need to remove the head console to take the head unit out!! Unless the screws aren't screwed on mine. I haven't had a chance to take the console off yet but would really love to hear from somebody who had the same issue before I attempt just to reassure me the screws aren't in this part. I also need to get myself a torx screwdriver first

If anyone has any experience with this, I'd appreciate any feedback!
