First Post: How do you remove the grill assembly in the front doors in order to replace the 6.5's??

You must remove the whole front door lining. The grill is part of the lining. Check out the pic below, this may help you out.

The whole door panel has to come off. Theres one screw hidden by a small flap (pops open with a small flathead screwdriver) behind the door handle. Once you get the screw off remove the door handle frame. Theres another screw inside the part that you close the door from. See part #11 above. Once you got those out just start popping the door panel off. I usually start from the bottom. Once the tabs are popped off slide it up and out. I can take the door panel off in 2 minutes flat. Good luck!

don't 4get 2 disconnect the small courtesy lite at the bottom
(see diag #30).
it has a thin wire that you can disconnect after the panel is off,
So dont pull panel to far from frame.

As many times I have taken off my panel. I almost always forget about that wire.

I figured he would notice the wires. You'll have to disconnect the door handle frame plug and the window switch plug as well. Its easy, you'll see.

I know its easy. just helping. Some may not be thinking of that smal lite when the time comes.
