You'll need a screwdriver. And maybe something to pry with, a flat head will work fine. First locate all the screws. Some will for sure run along the edges of the door panel. Check around the handle, there should be screwes too. They may be hidden behind what I like to call the secret screw compartments. Just a little plastic cover, pop it off with a flathead or something and take the screws off. Keet the window all the way down. Then proceed to take the panel off. Be careful, as there are these connector things which I dont know what they are called. They run the same idea as, say a button up jacket (not regular buttons, but the metal ones you squeeze together and they pop together). Same idea, but different. So youll have to pry the panel off, try not to break any of these button thingys. Disconnect any wires that are running through to the panel, like power windows or power locks. After the panel is off, you can unscrew the speaker and put in the new one. Reverse the steps to put it back together.
