Removing FD Rear Speakers??!!??

[NurburgRob]

Evening,

I\'ve got a pair of FD rear speakers in their brackets, ready to fit.  I\'m going to replace the standard 25W speakers with something slightly better, obviously.

Question is, how the hell do you get the OE speakers out of the brackets? they are glued all the way around!!

If I am successful (read minimal patience) can anyone recommend a good replacement?

Cheers!

they shouldont be glued, there should be 4 screws arouns the outside

Yeah, they\'re glued in. You need to bosh, lever them out with a screwdriver.

There a pain to get out, i used screwdrive and stanley but still bent the frames, but there pretty easy to bend back into shape.

I was hoping for an easy option, damn!

i had this problem but once i got the blade under one edge it was easy to prise them further and the glue gave way. i removed the whole bracket from the car, speakers and all, and did it in the garage. i replaced them with some pioneers that were a direct replacement.

edit:
my mistake the fronts are pioneers, the rears were "JBL P8652 Coaxial Car Speaker 6" x 8" - 5" x 7" BNIB", 75watts rms, 225w peak power, £40 from a seller on ebay.

Nice one, thanks.

Now I\'ve got one of the speakers and bracket in the freezer! hoping the glue will be more brittle when I attack it some time this week with a screwdriver
