how do i get the stock speakers out?!

[cam_kiddo8705]

so i recently blew out my stock front speakers in my '99 camaro. maybe it's just me but i think now would be a good time to replace them. one problem. when i went to remove the grille thingy, i noticed that the screws that hold the speaker in place are just out of reach under the door panel. i tried everything i could to pull the door panel off. to be honest i don't know where to begin trying to get it off. so if anyone of y'all could save me the time and injuries, PLEASE tell me how to get that sucker off so i can get to the stock speakers.

The panel is held on by a couple of screws and then some clips. Make sure you have all the screws out and gently pry up on each part where you can feel the clips. The sell a tool to remove the clips but, its not needed. BTW do you have power or manual windows?

Once all the screws are out...Lift UP on the door panel and THEN pull out on it.

If you don't lift up on it and just start pulling right from the start, you'll bust the plastic hooks off (which tend to break very easily if you're not careful.)

for the manual window cranks there is a clip holding them on, just get the tool they make for those clips and slide it under the crank and the clip should pop right off
