:FAQ: How to Remove CRX Door Sill (56K Death)
This is fairly simple. There are a total of 13 bolts that have to be removed, and that is the main part of the removal.
Step #1:
Here are some pics just to show you what is coming off if you don't know what I am talking about.
Step #2:
Locate the six bolts that are inside of the door. They are on top of the door sill and remove them.
Step #3:
You will have to remove the back wheel to get at the back bolt. There is no clearance in there to fit even the smallest screwdriver in there on the stock 13" wheels. When the wheel is off take your screwdriver and unscrew the two screws in the rear wheel well.
Step #4:
There are four bolts under the car that need to be removed. If you look under the door sill you will see four bolts. Remove them.
Step #5:
Now from the back of the sill (near the back wheel well) work your way around the edges of the sill pulling it out as you go. When you have the end off all you have to do is pull it out to the right and then back towards you.
Step #6:
Here is just a note if you are putting the sill back on. There is a rubber clip near the front of the door that is a real pain in the ***. You will have to hold it out when you slide the sill back on because if it is in the wrong place then it won't fit right.

Very good write up. I needed this when I had my CRX. I cussed it for about 2 hours before I finally figured it out.

Bump for pulling this back from a decade of wanting to be dead.
Next time, just make a link on your computer for your personal use rather than bumping it to the top of current threads.
