how to remove gauge bezel?
i did some searching but didn't find enough info, i need to know how to take off the gauge bezel to get to the gauge cluster for my 93 civic. im very afraid that im going to break it in a billion pieces, i know you have to take out the 2 screws from above the cluster, but after that it's all very very scary!!!

Re: how to remove gauge bezel? (ridiculous)
after the 2 screws from the dash/cluster part...pop out the HAZARD switch (theres a screw back there) use a small flat tip so you dont scratch things up.. then carefully pry out the dash cover. keep wiggling is till it comes out...that should be it. the cluster has 4 screws on the side you should see them when tha dash comes out

Yep, it's a little tough to get it off, but once you get the hang of it it's no sweat. Just three screws... two above the gauges, and one behind the hazard button insert. The hazard button gave me a bunch of trouble the first time until I figured out that if you wrap a small flathead screwdriver in a thin towel or old t-shirt, and stick it in between the top of the button housing and the bezel, you can pop it out really easily. Then just pull that screw out (get a magnetized screwdriver or just be really careful not to drop it down in there), and start tugging on the thing and wiggling it around... it will come out eventually and it won't break.

I had a hard time too. I made a big mistake when putting everything back together. I didn't know that the clock harness fits into the hazzard button and what do you know I put everything back with the clock harness in the hazzard button. Make sure you don't do this same mistake b/c it screwed with everything. My signals wouldn't work and my car would stay on w/o the key (freaked me out) until i hit the hazzard button.
