There's a much easier way to do this. Take out the glove box, the wire running from the stereo disconnects at a point from the wire running through the firewall.
I did the same thing with my antenna and I'm preparing to replace. Check out this video for more https://youtu.be/3cLTYm5yMPI

Could you not just fish the new wire through as you pull the old? I have no idea if that could ever work and I know this is a very old question and reply but to the next person that comes along they might could try that instead of having to pull the whole dash
