Removing Kenwood stereo

I bought a new car, so on my trade in I want to remove the kenwood I had installed. The dealership where I bought my new car says they can't do it. They said they need a special tool, and that it will cost me 40 bucks to get it out.
Doesnt seem like it would require a special tool does it? Can I get that tool and go up there and pry it out myself?
Anybody know?

any stereo i've installed had standard screws... pull apart the dash piece and see what you find

well they need that U shaped tool, but I think we just shoved the faceplate in there, so it's the faceplate that needs removing. I told him if he wouldnt do it I was bringing my screw driver up there and prying it out myself.

Update:

It took me less than 30 seconds to remove it from the dash with a screwdriver.
Stupid dealership hassling me for change...

Never underestimate the power of redneck engineering.
