As above boys and girls

Is it easy to do?

Got a blanking plate on order.

Cheers!

very easy mate, did the mrs's 2 weeks ago.

the only thing i would suggest would be to put some cardboard or similar to pack between the blanking plate and the single din unit to stop it moving at all as the cage doesn't lock there at all

At the back of the new stereo there will be a stud sticking out. Somewhere in the box for the stereo should be a rubber bung that fits over this stud. When the stereo is fitted into the car this rubber bung locates into a hole at the back of the opening which will hold it in place. The piece of card you are using shouldn't be required as the stereo shouldn't need to rest on the cubby hole anyway (the OP is fitting a blanking plate and not a cubby hole so there is nothing for it to rest on anyway).

Is it easy to get the old radio out?

Yep. Get some standard removal "prongs" from Halfords, makes it easier. You have to remove the side strips to expose the holes for the prongs.
