Yes, you do need to remove the door panel.... wondering how you even got to two of the screws..?? Pryed off the plastic speaker grill? You can find a walkthrough here:

When I pulled my door panel off, I noticed something interesting.

The door speaker grilles on my 99 Camaro actually snap in to the panels but two of the tabs on the grille get melted to the panel. It seems as if the original idea was to have a removable grille similar to the sail panels but then GM decided to make them a more permanent part of the door panel.

Yep. You need a removal tool. Looks like this

Any place sells them.... you could probably find them at a local auto parts shop. Should only be a few bucks.

Very easy to use. Just slip the tool between the door panel and the crank. Like this

That will release a small U-shaped clip that's holding it in place. Don't lose it! It's a little tougher to put back on, but still not hard. [img]smile.gif[/img]
