DIY: Change 94-01 Integra Door Lock Cylinder
My 2000 Teg had door lock cylinders that were seized. I could not use my keys to get into the car. Anyhow after looking high and low a member of
your very own Toronto integras RallyHonda gave me the door lock cylinder Part Number DL74300. $50 approx.
both canadian tire and part source have this part. I ordered mine from canadian tire here at dundas/mavis canadian tire. anyhow I got the write up from honda-tech write up:
props to mac_24_seven of honda-tech for the write up.

pics are at that link as well. the information is below.
some notes:
The one thing I can tell you is that the first time it will take you approx 30-50 minutes. It took me longer because I couldn't find the clip that held the original door cylinder to the plastic door handle. otherwise it wasn't difficult. total for both drivers side/pass side is about 1.5 hrs.
Make sure you have the right tools. As well one other note, the part where you take the door handle and remove it from the attached metal bar does not need to be removed. Its also a pain to do it.
make sure that you tape the door around the door handles or you will scratch the paint. I used painters masking tape and it did the job perfectly.
pm me if you have questions.

As with all my DIY's, I do as best I can to remember all the steps and be as helpful as possible. I do make mistakes, I have a bad memory. If there is anything you see that can make this DIY better, or have anything to add, I will be more than happy to update!
DIY: Integra door handle removal/replacement
Tools needed:
Phillips/flathead screwdriver
10 MM socket/ratchet/extension/wrench
ALOT of patience.
<FONT COLOR="blue">Time to complete: 1 Hr or less</FONT>
Optional tool: TAPE!
I would hate to have to do this on a car with a nice paint job. I scratched the **** out of my door doing this. If I had good paint, I would tape the area around the door handle so I wouldn't scratch my paint.
Step 1: Gather your parts, find your door and take some zanax: This one is gonna drive you crazy.
Step 2: Roll up window, remove one plastic screw in the door panel, screw in the door handle and screw in the armrest and disconnect all plugs and tweeter (if you have one.
.Using your fingers, start at the top of the door panel (part thats closest to the dash) and gently pry untill you hear the clip POP! Go around the perimeter of the door panel doing that.
You end up with this:
Yes Terrance, it's a tweeter. MB Quartz too
Step 3: Pry away some of the plastic covering. Stuff's used to keep moisture out and whatnot.
Step 4: Wonder how and the hell you're gonna disconnect that one rod and look puzzled:
This is what you're gonna see when you look in there:
Step 5: Using yoru 10 MM socket/extension, remove the bolt closest to the hinge and with your 10 mm wrench, remove the other 10 mm bolt. I could'nt find my 3/8 socket at the time, so I had to use a el cheapo thing ( can't think of it's name )
What hapens when you use cheap stuff? It breaks. Boo to cheap stuff!!
Yay for finding the right tools!!
Using the wrench to get to the other bolt. Be careful not to decide to go Emo and cut your wrist doing this. Remember, its DOWN the road, not across the street
Step 6: Have fun removing the door handle! There are 2 rods. One for the lock and one that actually opens the door. The one that opens the door is connected with a little plastic piece that holds the rod in place. You have to twist and turn to get it to come out of the little holder. Not too bad. The other rod.. Well, thats another story.
Step 7: Remove plastic rod holder thing. I wish I knew the proper name. It's connected with 2 screws.
It's also connected to the door lock with a little clip. Just pry the clip off with a screwdriver. It comes off like so.
Step 8: Remove lock. Very simple. There is a little metal clip you pry up and pull out that holds the lock in place. If you want to use your original key, you HAVE to do this. Once the clip is removed, the lock pulls out.
Step 9: Hard part: removing the door lock rod. Look closely at this picture. Directly above where my first finger is on my left hand is where the rod goes. You can see the end of the bushing there and thats the hard part: You have to PRY on each side of that little bushing that holds the metal piece in while at the same time pushing/pulling the metal part out.
Sound confusing? It is. Hard as hell to do it too. I don't even remember how long it took but my fingers were killing me by the time I figured it out. I removed it from my new door handle first, then on the handle that was still connected to my car. Once you remove the one connected to yoru car, you can remove the handle completely and just stick the metal piece into the bushing and it clips in place.
Step 10: reinstall the plastic rod holder thing and start putting your car back together! Simply reverse the steps to re-install it.
Sexy!
Step 11: Re-install yoru door panel. Don't be a n00b like me either....
Do you see a problem with this picture?
How am I suppose to hook back up my door locks? Yep, I forgot to pull the plug up so I can reach it once the door panel is on.
SO, I had to remove the door panel again
I tried using some needle nose pliers... But to no avail
Step 12: All done! Step back and enjoy yoru now working properly/non broken door handle!!
Fairly aggrivating. Glad I did it though As usual, if you have anything to add to make it better, please let me know and I'll update
