EK Stock Cluster Removal

Removing the stock cluster from an EK Civic.

 

Removing the cluster is straight forward although sometimes the metal clips can cause trouble. You will need a thin flat blade screwdriver at least 5" in length to remove them.

Do not use excessive force on the trim panel or you may crack it!

1. Remove the two screws at the top of the trim panel.
2. Make sure the steering wheel height adjuster is at its lowest setting, then slide out the bottom of the trim from the dashboard. The top will not release until the clips have been un-hooked.
3. With a small, thin flat blade screwdriver un-hook the clips. Be careful not to tear or mark the dashboard when doing this.
4. You can now slide the complete trim panel out.
5. The cluster is held in by four screws....
6. Remove the two bottom screws....
7. And then the two top screws, the cluster should now be free and can be unplugged from the wiring harness.
