1) pull off the trim piece around the center ac vents/ radio/ HVAC controls
2) remove screws holding in radio
3) slide radio out
its pretty easy once you start. you can see everthing that needs to come off to get the deck out.

I hate to burst your bubble but it won't work. The factory head unit doesn't have any auxiliary inputs. The only way to do that is to use an adapter that converts the CD changer port on the back of the HU to an auxiliary input. But that only works when the HU is capable of controlling an external CD changer. All cassette HUs could do this but single CD HUs only got that capability at the very end of the 99 model year. The port will be there but it won't work. Your 98 with CD head unit simply isn't compatible unless you've replaced the head unit with one from a later model.
