Removing the Grille Using Prying Tools

If the grille is too difficult to remove by hand, you can use prying tools, such as a pair of flathead screwdrivers, to remove it.

Locate the retention tabs by pressing the rim of the grille.

The grille flexes next to the tabs but not on top of them.
Insert one prying tool between the grille and the speaker at the edge of one retention tab, and use another tool as an axis to pry against.

NOTE: For the best results, avoid placing the prying tool in the middle of a retention tab. The grille is easier to remove when starting at either edge of a retention tab.
Pry the grille retention tab out of the slot.

NOTICE

Use care when removing the grille using prying tools to avoid damaging the grille, the speaker, or the mounting surface.
Repeat these steps on other retention tabs until the grille comes away from the speaker.
