I broke the lid off the center console trying to get it out

OK laugh now !!!!!!!!

OK you finished????


No, have another, go on !!! Right now what I need is help.

Having "removed" the top lid (I know it's not suppose to come off) I have 2 options.

1. Take the rest out the same way, i.e. Brute force.
2. Take everything out in the right order and cobble the broken bits back together, run all my wiring I wanted to and fit it all back in. Note all the plugs that are fecked as there will be more. Get a replacement and do it again.

I would prefer option 2 although it will take longer. Can someone give a "break" down of what parts come off in what order.

So far I've got the rear panels with the hooks on it off, the center console up and loose all the screws round the back console off but it's being held in place by 3 screws at the back (they're the ones that I didn't see when I gave it a FIRM pull forward and the lid came off! Do all the black button lugs around the rear trim need to come out and both roll bar covers come off (I thought the roll bar would run inside them so they are stuck in place?

See I do need someone that's done it before to tell me the stages. If you can I'd appreciate a call or I'll call you? Want to get started soonest, if this is a long job want it finished by lunch if I can.

Right STOP laughing you barstewards. I pig sick as this is the first time I've broken a part of the car (in this way).

I was going to mention maybe claiming on INSURANCE but that would have been a cheap dig..

Yeah it was. Funny though, has put a smile on my torn face. Hee Hee.

man you did a good one there! Have noy not got the ESM CD. The rear center consoel will come out with out removing the roll hoops IIRC. Spent a while sorting this out when I designed the roll hoops speaker pods. If your really stuck I can dig the ESM CD out email some pics (as the gallery is fcuked!)

Thanks Mikey,
I've got it all back together. Not a spare screw in sight so that's promising. I have the feckin CD and having just moved house it's somewhere save so that I don't loose it, and can't find it.
I'll be looking to get another and remove the broken one when I find one. oh and you're right I did feck it up badly.

mikey k

at least you got it sorted

Chris you have PM

Replied - I have removed these parts before - just cannot remember.

The Honda ESM CD contains the removal instructions & piccys, section 20-57.

Thanks to "all" who have responded. Looks like it's being sorted maybe even have it installed by next weekend. Phew. Hate it when I break it.
