Stereo (w/ CD Player!) Removal

[ParoXoN]

*Necro Necro Necro*

Well, I finally found some time to work on the car again, and I finally went to get the damn thing out and discovered something unpleasant:

1. My regular ratchet/socket doesn't want to fit in there. What tools/extensions should I be looking for here?

2. How the hell do I undo the driver's side bolt? There doesn't seem to be a hole to the back of the dash on the driver's side like thre is on the passenger side...


... Wow, I'm useless at this Gotta love bein a newblet T.T

I noted the same issue on the driver side as well when adding the OEM single disc unit over a year ago. At that time, without having the OEM instructions and after stumbling across the proper bracket at the yard, the only way I was able to get better access to the driver side bolt was to take the dash trim off.

Ideally, I really didn't think I had to remove it that way. I want to swap the OEM HU this year and was hoping I didn't have to go through that again.

Thanks for the info JaK FRoSTWhiTE. Is there a way I can get the full set of install instructions for this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

guys i like the factory look but i cant find a factory cd/head unit any were what all do they come in. if you all dont mind me asking.

never in our cars, you can get them from integra gsr's i thinka nything passed 95, and 98 accords with their double din cd player.

I was like you long ago, but finding and paying for factory decks to find that their cd players die rather fast I went aftermarket and never looked back.

usb, ipod, bluetooth, mp3 you cant ask for anything more.

The radio/CD player I have in my SE came out of a 92-96 Prelude, but I still need the CB7 bracket so it's not bolted in.
