I built the b16 in my 00 Si. I went to change the last rubber hoses to the heater core before putting the motor back in. Somehow I managed to pull the heater (water valve) cable. I bought a new cable from honda, but I can't replace it.

I have the Helms manual for the Integra, and that section is not 100% the same, nor does it tell me how to pop off the clip inside the dash that holds the cable.

I can barely see it and barely touch it with a screwdriver.

can anyone please help me with any tips on replacing this heater cable so i can put the motor back in? thanks!!!

 

are you trying to get to it from behind the dash or in front of it?

 

i have the motor out, and i have the engine-bay side of the cable unclipped.

I have the interior dash taken apart and i'm trying to remove the holding clip on the dash-side of the cable.

there has to be a trick to it. please help! thanks

i called a honda dealer today and spoke with a service tech. he said all i can do is remove more of the dash. damn.
