What year is your Civic? The 92-95 dashes are really easy to take it out.

i removed and installed the dash into my del sol 96' about 2 times by myself, its not as heavy as it looks, you can lift it with one hand, about 6 bolts altogether, just keep an eye on the wipers and headlight handles around steering wheel, you could be pressuring them to break if you're unaware, lower the steering position, remove a/c vents, remove the gauge cluster, remove the passanger box, unscrew gear *** and put gear into 4th and raise the mid console or remove it altogether for more space, and for even more convenience would be better to actually remove the steeringwheel, but you can still work around it.

the dash itself only weighs a few pounds. i think i have 4 bolts holding mine in, but maybe there are 6 altogether. be careful of the stalks around the steering column when u take it out, they are easy to break

You also might think about getting a Haynes or Chilton shop manual, I have both and they have come in handy more than a few times!

Little bit of time, and a little bit of patience, you'll get it.
