As well as the two screws at the top of the headunit there are also two clips retaining it at the bottom.

Remove the left hand selector knob, you'll find a small screw in the recess, turn it anticlockwise a quarter of a turn to release the clips.

Once you've done that put a couple of fingers in the cassette slot and try to rock the unit from side to side - I also used a pallet knife between the console and the headunit in an attempt to help release it - with rather more than gentle persuasion you should manage it.

It'll still be tight and awkward to remove, remember it's been there since the car was built and will have become stuck to the padding of the console.

You would need to remove the trim panel first, see my last picture in post#2
