98 Accord - Removing the factory fitted stereo

"webmaster" decided to join the conversation on 05 Oct 2003 with message news:blpqd2$lto$ snipped-for-privacy@newsg1.svr.pol.co.uk:

Check this out:

Crowbar.

Start at the rear bumper. Remove the tow hook cover, and anything else you fing between you and the engine bay bulkhead.

No no no, those are the instructions for an average heater-matrix :)

DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER

Watch what you listen to on the net.

Two screws, running vertically underneath the bottom of the radio trim panel.

Now: with a small screwdriver, gently pry out the clock from the bottom. Disconnect it and put it aside. Behind the clock is the ALL IMPORTANT THIRD SCREW. Take it out.

NOW you can pop out the radio trim panel, complete with climate controls. Put a rag or two inside the clock cavity, get your fingers in there as best you can, and yank. It's just pressure clips.

Remember: there are THREE screws, two down below and one up above behind the clock.

High voltage ?

And also what you read.

I think he was working on the basis that it's the same basic car as a Rover 600...

In which case, his instructions were bollocks :)

You have to remove the leccy window switches first. Then take off gearnob, and remove entire centre console (one screw is under the leccy window switches). Once that is out of the way, the centre bit holding the stereo(s) can be removed.

That's very big of you :)

oops, I misread it, I thought it was you that Elmo replied to, heh.
