right tomorrow im swapping over the dash in my 92-95 civic, i was wondering if it would be usefull to anyone on here if i did a "how to" guide.

 

Just remember as much as you can. Write down the details if you must. I haven't seen a diagram for the dash removal, but its a fairly simple process. Just be patient, and take your time. The first time I did a dash conversion, I was like a 10-year old on Chrismtas Day, and had to do it all in 2 hours. When I was done, I had a ziplock bag full of 10mm bolts, and a dash that was secure but not perfect, like I wanted it.

 

Can't hurt

 

i've already removed a dash from the civic, it takes about 1.5 hours, i have a grey dash in my civic, and want to put in the black one i got from a scrap yard, i just wanted to know if anyone would find it usefull/helpfull if i wrote a "how to guide" on it

 

1) Unscrew your gauge cluster bezel and pop it off (must remove hazard button)
2) Unscrew your gauge cluster and unplug it then remove
3) Remove the lower part below your radio (just hunt for screws)
4) Lie on the floor and look up and the bottom of the climate control and remove screws
5) Remove and unplug climate control
6) Remove steering column plastic by carefully popping it off one side at a time
7) Pop out the top vent in the center and unscrew the bolt
8) There are two bolts on either side, remove them
9) There is one bolt on the center below the radio, remove that
10) Your dash is free but now you need to drop the steering column. Get on the floor and remove the two nuts then go lower and remove the two bolts then slide the stieering column to the floor.
11) Slide dash up over the steering wheel and then disconnect any random plugs
12) Have a

EDIT: **** I totally misread your post. ****.

 

It really isn't that hard. I had never done it before when I removed my dash to install my integra one.

-There are bolts on the left and right dash supports (look for the little plastic tab that is located on each side of the dash; you must have the doors open to see it).

-There's also a main bolt behind the clock.
-There a bolt connecting the bottom of the dash (under the radio) to a metal support tab that's welded to the floor. This is located near your right foot on the driver's side.
-You MUST drop your steering column all the way down to get the dash out...which means you have to unscrew the bolt on either side of the steering column support.

I can't remember if there are any more, but just hunt around for them.

PM me if you still can't figure it out.


Edit: Actually nevermind...I misread your post as well...sorry.

Wow...I feel like a retard. It only took me 12 posts to realize it.

 

Chill out dude! Read my edit.

I know he already knows how to remove it.

All I was doing in my previous post was acknowledging that Andy knows more than I do.

What...?

I wasn't yelling, just wrote it really BIG. There's no exclaimation mark.

 

there is 1 part that i had a problem with, its like ment to be really easy to remove, although, i managed to break the dial bezel, i managed to rip off the vent on the drivers side, as it was stuck in on the drivers side, and mine feels as stiff, any easy way to remove it?
