I pulled my dash pad. The best way I think. One thing if you do pull it take the side windshield pads off. There is a bolt not quite in the center towards the passenger side that needs to come out. You may or may not see it froe the passenger floorboard. I've taken my passenger side lower dash panel out so many times that it makes it easy to get to the passenger side speaker. The drivers side is easiest if the dash pad is out. It's next to impossible to get the drivers side speaker out without taking the dash pad out.

They are mounted from the top, if I recall properly, taking off the dash pad isn't that hard. Joe
