stock speaker removal of 98 Explorer xlt

[Stadated]

I just bought this truck and i am trying to install a stereo. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the grilles from the speaker. Or even get the panel off for that matter.
Does the panel have to come off or is it just the grille?

thanks, if anyone has any information that would assist me.

Removing the panels is relatively easy.
first remove the 2 screws located by the door handel.
then remove that plastic piece behind the handle.
and then pry the panel off the door. (I broke most of my clips my first time, but purchased replacement ones for about $5.00 at autozone)
then the speakers are screwed into the door, unscrew them and then disconect your speakers.
Install your speakers, and put your door panel back on.

pretty easy.
