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.
