How to take off the front bar

[kEnsHi]

How do i go about removing the front bar off an EM1 civic?

[madgrk]

7 screws up top near the lights.. Remove them all (and the plastic things they "screw" into)..

Then look in the wheel arch and u will find a screw on each side. Remove those then pull thebumper away from the car and stuff some towels in there so it doesnt scratch anything..

Next pull on the front of the bumper, and everything SHOULD come out easily :D

I also found on My EG, theres 2 bolts under the bar which screw into the chassy, and 2 which screw into the chassy from with in the bar behind my driving lights (brake ducts on ausy models). So if you remove the top screws and it still wont budge check undernieth and inside the brake ducts.

theres also 2 10mm bolts that you have to take out from underneath the car (more towards the middle) and i think another 2 screws as well (towards the outsides).

I havn't bothered but i think theres some bolts either side of the bar and screw that are under the tailgate, much the same as the front. Theres most likly suport for the bar behind the bar. Just check there as well.
