Anyone have a write up or some kind of directions for the easiest way to totally remove an EG/EJ2 dash?

 

just go at it some tools... mostly bolts and clips.

spend $10 on a haynes or get a helms for detailed info...

or ask him...

its pretty simple. its pretty hard to get the freaken AC stuff out from behind the dash. take out the glove box. then the center consol thing. then just take the bolts out from behind the clock and the ones under the dash and on the side. its pretty simple. but if u get into the wiring like i had to do when i ran da new wiring harness, its a bitch. lol. good luck

 

yea i would also like to know how to take off the dash so i can replace my dam heater core.

 

becaferul with the heater core....if you **** up the copper pipe, you will need to replace the whole core.

its pretty easy though....remove all the bolts that hold it to the body (there is also one under the vent on top of the dash in the middle...hidden ******)....there are bolts on each side of the dash near the door jam. also be certain to drop your steering columb first. you will NOT be able to remove the dash without dropping it.

disconnect all the plugs to all the **** on the dash.

thats how i did it...

 

maybe this will help a little more, but its from my ek. it's all basically the same, nuts, bolts and clips

oh yea. u gotta unbolt the two bolts for the AC thing in the engine bay. its kinda hard to get too. but u gotta take them out to get the AC **** out. they are kidna on the passanger side and about half way up from the bottom of the engine bay.

 

Oh man. All these lil extra things just made me think twice about putting a teg dash in... which is why I need to remove my current dash...

Any advice?

 

Just un-bolt the bitch...stop unbolting things when it pulls off!

 

well, keep in mind you gotta rewire like...everything! to make that work. you will also no longer have door panels.

yeah i have seen them both ways...hacked up and done right...

 

I read somewhere that I could just use the teg harness to make things much easier... is that true?

Just get the two manuals and cut and splice its quite easy!

 

im not sure....if you can, damn that makes everything a breeze, but if not, you have to do a lot of rewiring. expect downtime.

 

Any pictures of the door panels "done the right way"?

Basically u just have to Heat the hell out of your door panel...and "squish" it into the dash when u close the door...

 

w/o panels....you have to use a heat gun on the sides until its soft. once its soft, close the doors and let it harden. done!

 

...lol god i love H-T

here ya go!

 

and you shound love us!... hehe but yea the dash is just a pain in the *** cuase of the angles, cramped space and silly number of bolts. Just go in and remove every bolt you see... took me like 20mins altogther the first time, now i can do it in 5 mins or so.

 

lol....i snapped a bunch of **** off mine (corners, brackets, etc)

i got pissed and kicked it, and snapped off the vin tag. when i went to register my car, they sent me to the CHP since it looked "tampered with."

lmao

PATIENCE IS KEY

 

lol yes patience is the key!

 

Man, All this crap is scaring me. lol. I HAVE A BROWN INTERIOR! I really want this teg dash in my car. The teg that i'm getting the dash board is my friends and its just sitting in the drive way so I can take out EVERYTHING I need to make this happen.

I'm just confused as what I will need to remove from the teg and take out from my civic to get it all working right. Then theres the wiring I might have to do and getting everything to fit is a bitch. Damn, im stuck.
