I bought a new radio so I need to remove the old one. How do I do it? It's in a 1997 Civic LX.

 

look in the DIY section, it's right there
i didn't spend an hour finding all the info and organizing it into a convenient little package for nothing

also, if you would have searched you would have found it.

Sorry, it's just like the 3rd time in the past 3 days this has happened.

 

seriously look into his writeup, i couldnt believe what was all involved in taking out the deck in my 97 civic hatch.. u got to take off ur glovebox, and all the other plastics from ur ebrake to the unit

 

+1 look into the DIY section lots of installs and tune ups are usually there. members on here spent time putting info together and taking time to write a DIY out.

 

I Just did this today, it takes about 1-3 hours, depending on if you know what you are doing, and if you decide to go exploring like I did.

The DIY is good, also download the service manual and print out the pages that explain how to remove the dash covers, that is what I used.
