Front door are simple. It's just 2 regular screws ansd one plastic screw. Everything else just snaps out. You will have to drill the rivets out that hold the speaker in place. I made a wooden ring to mount my new speakers to and the rest is history.

I think the front dash speaker grills have four clips(permantly attached to the grills). I just wrap a screwdriver in a cloth and pull gently...you'll be fine.

Yeah the dash grills pop right real easy. Just use a small screwdriver and gently pry up. There are 2 screws holding in the little speakers .

Oh, for anyone attempting to do this, the front door speakers will fit a 6.5. I used a scosche bracket. Actually model # sat6. I ran into a problem on mounting the speakers and the bracket to the original metal holes in the door. The original holes are not drilled for screws. I went out and bought a rivet gun and used 3/16" 5mm rivets to mount my brackets back on the doors. Very tight no rattling and much like factory. Only down side is having to bust out the drill to remove them again. But, rivets kinda make it more theft proof!!!
