Here are the directions straight from my Haynes Manual: 1. Pry the clock bezel carefully from the cener instrument panel bezel. 2. Pull the clock bezel out enough to disconnect the electrical connector from the clock and the hazard switch. 3. Detach the retaining screws from the trim panel. There is one at the top in the clock bezel cavity and 2 at the bottom. The remainder of the panel fasteners are clips. Pry carefully on the panel until the clips re disengaged. 4. The air conditioning and heater control panel is attached to the center instrument panel by screws on the back. Pull the panel away from the dashboard enough to disconnect the 2 electrical connectors at the heater controls and remove the panel. 5. As all Haynes manuals state, Installation is the reverse of removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thsocom41 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 its a hidden screw up at the top.. my 00 accord is the same setup and if you pull it too far up the screw will pop off.. mine did.. but its fine there is no reason for the screw to even be there.. mine is still nice and snug in the dash.. so if you wanna actually get it off right you have to screw around with the clock n crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 not sure if this helps but check it out http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/Honda/PDF/466037.pdf That's actually the wrong one... That should read "'94-97"... I hate when "professional" places can't even get their **** right. You'd think it wouldn't be that hard. That's for a 5th gen, not a 6th. 6th gen's started in 1998. Grrr... That stuff just drives me insane sometimes...>_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Pisto Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 As everyone said, take the clock out. I used some masking tape on a screw driver, and I've also used a credit card to take it out. You will see the screw immediately. To make things easier, disconnect the clock. There are two screws underneath the black bezel, take those out ask well. Use that mask taped screw driver to pry out the bottom of the bezel. I had the same problem as you and the first time I just worked my way around it (the top part not coming off even when the screw behind the clock was out). All you gotta do is just carefully pull out the top of the bezel with some force. It's just another clip on the top, thats all. Once you do that it makes things a bit easier, but you can still work your way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
