the fn' Hazard and DCT harnesses behind the center trim

How can you guys remove and reinstall these?

I struggled to remove them..

now trying to reinstall them.. they are impossible! Maybe i just have fat asian fingers!

I don't see myself doing this often in the future.. will probably have to avoid removing that damn piece from now on.

Any suggestions on how to get it in??

Off topic... did you used to have a DC5? On Club RSX?

HAHA its been a long time since I went on CRSX, I just remember your user name from there.

BTW I used needle nosed pliers to do it

I struggled with this last night. I ended up cutting the felt tape that fastens the harness to the bottom edge of the vent duct. This way, I had a lot more slack to maneuver the cables into position.

use a flat head screwdriver. just play around with it, youll get it eventually. i just worked the side of it.

was tough to put back in but got it in. i too have chubby Asian fingers so its possible. just try to use your hand eye coordination and feel the clip.

Thin needle nose pliers works wonders!
