any write ups out there or anyone have a helms manual that can scan it?

i searched the DIY section but all i found was Kumar's failed attempts to find one

& i know this is suppose to be in the DIY section but i dont feel like waiting a month for an answer..

 

I have the helms and a working scanner, it will be done today

 

alrite..

 

i need that too!

 

I remember acurahb did it. he swapped the whole interior if im not mistaken

 

 

can i have it too?....

 

Looking forward to this scan

 

Sorry guys, I failed, I will get it this weekend

 

Just dive into it, that's what we always do. If its anything like the accords and civics then it wont be hard just time consuming. If you tug and it wont release look for bolts, they like to hide them. Your other option is to wait on the manual and do it by the book but where is the fun in that.

 

and i wanted to yank it out tonite..guess something else is getting torn apart lol

 

when i get my system/interior done, ill just have a go at it...

 

had to tear down and replace a fish tank, didn't get on AZ last night or I would have remembered

 

pretty decent start if you just look at kleptos short shifter DIY, it shows you how to take apart the 97 dash for the most part.

 

im just gonna go at it..

 

Can i ask why you want to remove the whole dash?

 

just freaking read kleptos short shifter DIY, it will get you started and you should be able to take over from where it leaves off man, it's not as bad as it seems.

 

They're talking about the DASHBOARD, not the console

 

Hey if you work from the glovebox around you should be able to get the dash out, i'm in the process of removing my dash, so maybe i'll just do a DIY for you foolz

 

Was actually going to post that, you have a parts car, take some pics

 

- tucking the prop valve behind dash
- re-routing brake lines
- tuck fusebox
- redoing ALL wiring

to say the least, it's alot easier with it off then on..

 

ummm...fuck dashboards

that's all..

 

 

 

did you just gold cup yourself?

 

after 2 hours of that shit you better believe I did...lol

it was actually the most annoying thing i've ever done

 

Pictures? Or some short hints on how you did it?

 

didn't get around to gettin pics at all, by the time i thought of it i was already 3/4s done..

as for hints:

- PATIENCE
- there's about 6-7 MAIN bolts that hold it in (black bolts)
- random little bolts that are attatched to shit, just gotta look for em
- the most annoying thing is that once its off, there's wires for the pass. tweeter and the sensor at the top of the dash that are strapped in under the vent tubes (whatever they're called) & you gotta take em out to be able to pull the wires out.
- oh and PATIENCE lol

i actually though i was gonna go nuts last night doing it cuz i couldn't figure it out but you just have to keep at it.

Another thing that is a bitch was removing the re-bar behind the dash, there's this one bolt specifically that took me about 45 minutes to get off cuz i just couldn't get at to save my life and i still have no idea how i got it lol.

I have the A/C blower and fan box out but i have no clue how to take out the main blower box, anyone have any insights on that??

i'll get some pics 2morrow when its lighter out cuz i have no clue how to work my moms camera..

 

what she looks like w/ no dash or re-bar..
