Look at this:

You need to get the radio and cage out, then scrape your knuckles and curse as you try to pull on the release bar...

I found it easiest to grab the release bar at either end with thumb and first finger to pull it down, perhaps that's just my skinny large hands though!

A quick tip before reassemble... put a couple of cable ties (one at each end) on the bar, make them tight and leave the excess dangling. Makes it easier next time :y

Good idea, I cut a notch in an old screwdriver for next time, works a treat.

You can just lever the bar down one end at a time with a screwdriver...once you have managed to locate the stupid thing!
