1982 speaker removal
Best wishes to all in the coming year. My dashboard speakers are shot,
can they be removed from the top without the complications of dash removal and possibly cracking the dash. I searched the forum and could not find any info on past experiances, so before the undertaking, I thought let me post the Q. Thank you.

If I remember correctly and sometimes I don't.....
it is 8mm size bolts that are in there. I used a very small ignition wrench which did the trick, but takes forever to remove and install.
I am sure Ernie's tool will work much better for the removal.

what you go with will depend on, do you want factory or good sound .i gave up the factory stuff for aftermarket stuff and have been glad that i did .http://1982corvette.shutterfly.com/pictures/94 i put the 6x9 speakers on the side .easy to do and can always go back to stock .no loss of space or room for t-tops.cutting the dash with a dremal was verry easy and can always go back to factory if needed[will never happen]the change over was one of the things that made driving the car that much more fun for me.
