What year of 300CE? My dad has an 88 300CE, but I don't recall having to buy any special parts to remove the stock tape player. Let me check on that for you, though.

I have used two metal nail files when I was in a crunch. On the other hand, you can pick up the proper tool from the dealership for something like $10.

Just out of curiousity, why are you so against going to the dealership to buy a set for $6-8?
