anyone removed the entire 4g dash before?
difficult/easy?
lots of screws?
need to take off the main dash as well?

my plan is to rid all air con interior gubbins, plus install oil temp & pressure guages, and also poss install a tv & dvd player (non jdm :oops: )

there are 2 nuts where the windscreen mech is under the bonnet 1 either side by the door and a few near the centre console i think that may be it?

:D Im doing this job at the weekend. Its all in the service manual which shows the location of all the screws.

You dont need to remove the dash to get rid of the AC evaporator. All you need is to remove the glove box http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/honda-p ... -t729.html

take off the steering wheel + signal and windscreen wash sticks

when i broke my old 4th gen i had trouble taking off the dash,& broke these by accident. i have learned now to stop fighting with things and use my brain a bit more...

I did this about a week ago it takes about an hour if your competent, service manual is a good guide

I'm not needing to remove the dash as such, but looks like I need to replace the blower motor transistor.

I think I'll be able to get away with pulling the dash forward to access it, will I need to disconnect all the airbags etc to do this?

Can you not access that by removing the glove box?

Not looking at the pic newkid took yesterday from his. It sits on top of the fan air box, I've got the glovebox off atm and doesn't look like I can get at it.
