Try this link first http://www.7thgencivic.com/diy/radio.cfm

But I think I know where your having trouble. When it comes to getting the whole HU and area off.
All you need to do is get something behind the lip where the plastic trim of the HU and AC/Temp controls meet the dash. And then just give a bit of a yank, there are 5 clips that hold the whole thing on. You will need to give it a good pull to get it off but then you can access the whole thing and work away, rather than trying to get to it from reaching up and under.

I know how you feel I did the same thing too.
Good Luck

what you need to do is get an 8 mm socket up there and unscrew it , its not that hard, then you do have to push rather hard and pop it out .. if ya need help go to the DIY ..

if you replace the head unit on an EX or any other 2k1 civic with remote entry, will the remote entry still work, i've heard that it won't if you replace the head unit.
