how the hell did you get it out without removing the steering wheel?
I am not sure, I worked it around for about an hour, and was no closer to getting it out, then all of the sudden it popped out!
wow umm, i guess taking the steering wheel off would be a good start, and wrap the corners with painters tape.
I wound up having to drop the steering column to the floorboard since i had no wheel puller, i tried to force it in like it cam out, wound up with a spider cracked windshield. DO NOT FORCE IT, to anyone who reads this.
wow that sux, i got the same s**t
is ur dash jus str8 plastic or does it have vinyl on it and wat kinda paint u use
A steering wheel puller is very inexpensive and easy to use. You should be able to get one at advance auto parts.
Plastic and vinyl. I just used engine paint for the green, and duplicolor for the gunmetal, gonna take it back out and spray about 5 coats of clear on it in a few days. I didn't get a single paint flake for the whole installaion, removed, painted, and reinstalled all interior from 5 today until 2 am.
You can take the steering column dash bolts off and pull the column down enough to get the dash over the wheel. The gunmetal, and green was an awsome combination!

I didn't know it could come off that easy, so i just did it dropping the column.
Actualy on hondas u dont need a wheel puller lol
you do not need a wheel puller to put the dash in or out. it just takes time to put it in and take it out.
