If i remember rightly, the mesh pops off and the speaker is screwed on.

They are probably like the 928 ones, the ring around the grill mesh is threaded.
If you try and pop them off they will crack

Try twisting first

Spot on with the tweeters, thks :salute: ,,,, the mids were the over centre plastic push on type,, managed to get a plastic filler applicator under the grille to protect the leather then it was a case of prising gently but firmly at the cut outs around the grille and off they came ,,,same with the rear parcel self grilles ..

many thanks guys :D

cheers
Derrick
