removing stock tweeter-need help fast

[DrMcDave]

i am in the middle of my install and i need to removing the stock tweeter from the pod so i can put my new one in. how the hell do i get the old one out? any easy way?

Ken can probably suggest a few things when he pops on. Apparently they are just stuck in there pretty good with some strong adhesive. I think you pretty much need to try to jam something sharp in there to break up the adhesive without damaging the pod itself.

But Ken has done it before...I'm sure he'll be on shortly.

use a dremel tool, or any way possble. It's glued one, no easy way to take them out.

You will destroy the tweeter when you take it out. So just destroy it.

I ran the dremel with a cutoff bit all around the edge of the tweeter then pryed it out with a flathead. Worked great.

Try a heatgun, it really helped me.

Then I pryed it out with a screwdriver. Be careful not to melt the plastic though!

I dont understand the big deal. I just pulled super hard and they came out. The tweeters nor the pod broke, cracked, or anything.

I had a hell of a time getting mine out (or at least a friend of mine did). It took him about 20 minutes to get them out. A dremel would be the easiest as there is very little room between the tweeter and the housing.

You only destroy the tweeter if you pry the inside metal part. The tweeter is the entire black plastic part. Just get a flathead screwdriver and wedge it in there to break the bond around the circumference and it'll cleanly pop out.

yeah i just dremeled the hell out of it and i did break one of the tweeters but on well, the new ones are in, although i didn't get to hear them yet. I've also the the 4 inch middy's in the door and the 6.5's in the stock location, i just need to do the other side.
