D.I.Y clock spring removal DC5
Ok so I was searching around while installing my quick release steering wheel and everyone talked about breaking the clockspring to get it off. I didn't see why everyone struggled I figured it out right away how to take it off without busting it.. So I thought I would share
this will be a short and sweet DIY. It's mostly for the DC5 but I'm sure it will work for most all honda applications.
(if you need I can upload the other photos but remove the steering wheel there are plenty of photos) then you'll get to the clock spring. Just pull this forward and out

This is the piece we are trying to remove without breaking

To do so just release the bottom clip with a flat head screw driver

Then the harder part everyone gets stuck on.. using a flat head push down here

As you can see it's just a push tab you need to push down on to release the clip

and now you've successfully removed the clock spring without breaking it.
