  Q: What challenges do home mechanics face when removing the instrument panel, and what steps should be taken to ensure successful reassembly on Honda Accord?

  A: This procedure is particularly difficult for the do-it-yourselfer because of hidden bolts and screws, difficult to reach areas and numerous electrical connectors which must be labeled and disconnected. It is thus encouraged that only experienced persons should carry out this task. Specifically when doing the instrument panel pulling it out, one should take time, write down how each part comes off, the position of each part to another and how it fits. Even as standard, it is possible to remove the both of front seats which will give you even more working space and will help you avoid potential damages. First, remove the negative terminal of the battery then, take out the steering wheel, center floor console, dashboard trim, and front pillar trim. Subsequently, to free up the steering gear: Unbolt the steering intermediate shaft from the steering gear input shaft; Unbolster the side kick panels; Pull out the right dashboard side cover; Remove the glove box; Pull out the radio and the heater control assembly; And, finally, remove the rear vent ducts. All instrument panel electrical connectors have to be removed, perhaps, some should be marked to be reconnected later. Unbolt the lower centre section of the instrument panel and the other fastenings posted on the remainder section. Gently push back the instrument panel and, if necessary, disconnect the electrical connectors coming in the way; after disconnecting all of them, pull the panel and take it out through the driver's door, preferably, with some help. Reinstallation is done in the reverse of the disconnection process and it ends with plugging in a battery.
