Hi All
1) How do I remove the Stock Speaker Grills from my door speakers. I don't see
any pry tabs or areas on them. It seems like I read somewhere that with later
model cars they unscrewed basically- but that doesn't seem to be the case.....
2) I assume ...to remove these old stock Speakers in order to re-cone them I
will have to remove the door panels?
Thanks!

door panels do not need to be removed.
on my 1990 I took a small flat blade style plastic tool and gently pried under
the lip and then turned the grille a little to take them off.
be careful, and go slowly; they are easy to break.
the woofers do not turn at all because they have a locating tab that goes into
the bezel of the speaker

Gentlemen,
sorry to bother you with a mundane question like this but I am reluctant to
learn the hard way. How do you remove the tweeter grill in the door panel ?
The larger one is a "screw-on" type but the tweeter, while very hard to
turn, does not come off. Tried prying it off with reasonable amount of force
but it didn't budge. Afraid I will break the locking tabs if I go
beyond "reasonable amount of force". What's the trick ? Is it a
snap-on or screw on grill ?
While fixing broken wires coming into the door I noticed the tweeter is
installed at an angle but pointing wrong way. It is pointing into the dash
rather at the driver. I would like to rotate it so it fires at me
rather than the dash. Thanks
J.S.

Jan,
its is screw on, and it turns off anti-clockwise. It can be stuck, and be
careful: it can be brittle and will break easily.
