I have one problem: I cannot pull the existing one out. I also don't have a coat hanger I can sacrifice. I tried with copper wire, not much luck.

go buy the puller tools, they're cheap, but super effective

Buy the tools they are stupid and crazy expensive for what they are but they work way better than a coat hanger or substitute.

for 1 din unit I used two long and slim kitchen knives. Just place them on both sides between unit and bracket, only to flaten triangular teeth-like locks. Even one knive should do the trick

Yeah, this one is the type with 4 holes though, so the knife trick doesn't work.

Oh, now I get it.

Maybe 4 ball pen refills will work
