Thanks Curly and Viktor! This is great! I had visions of letting them
tear the dash apart for a couple of hundred $$$$$$ or doing without
the clock at night. This is so much better!

Just how much force does it take to pop the clock off the dash? I quit
my first attempt for fear of breaking something. I inserted a small
screwdriver at the bottom between the dash surround and the block of
plastic that holds the clock and the 4-way flasher and tried to pry it
upwards. It gave some, but it was not willing to pop free without
additional force that I was reluctant to apply . . .

About none. If you can pull the battery cover off a Walkman, you can
pull this clock out of the dash. Just pry from the bottom, gently.

Ok, that's what I was doing, but it didn't seem to want to come loose,
it creaked and groaned like something was about to break . . . I'll
give it another shot. Thanks!

Um, I can't really remember what that assembly looks like, but make sure
you're prying on the clock assembly itself and not the frame it goes
into.

See this: http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs...PDF/466053.pdf

Go on the second page which will explain and show what you need to know.
It's very simple.

Can't pry on just the clock assembly itself because the clock appears
behind a small window in a plastic assembly that also includes the
4-way flasher. The whole thing is about 2 1/2" wide by about 3 1/2"
tall and it sits between the two center dash vents. There is no place
around the clock window to pry, so it looks like that whole piece of
plastic has to come off. I need to try to find a shop manual that has
diagrams . . .

No no, that's correct. It all comes out, and behind the assembly is the
connector for the flashers as well as the clock.

But it does just pry right out with about no force. But the
clock/flasher assembly does snug into a frame, which you don't want to
be prying on.

Just did it...pry it from the sides, lift one side and them the other
watched a Honda mechanic do it... tried it myself
takes 2 minutes to do.
