installing new speakers

[Greddy181]

hay yall.How would I go about removing the door panels in a 2001 s10.I heard that you might need some special tools

[j894]

There are 2 bolts around the armrest handle(from underneath), then the rest comes off by just pulling off the panel. Its held on by plastic clips all the way around. You will probably break a lot of them when taking them off.

If you have manual windows, you might need a special tool for getting off the window handle clip from behind the window crank. Its like $6 at a parts store

First off start by removing the door handle cup up top. A phillips screw and pop off.
Then there are (2) 7mm screws under the armrest ,upwards where you pull the door.
If you have manual windows, a small 45* or 90* pick , or a window clip removal tool to get the hoseshoe-shaped window clip off.
If power, pull the power switch panel up from the front and slide out at the back. Remove the plugs. DRIVERS : There is one for the mirror with a simple top release tab. Then there is 2 more with recessed tabs. Flatblade driver and pull off. PASSENGER : There is one small for the illumination, and has a small bendable clip. Then one for the rest with a recessed tab.
Start at the top next to the mirror and pull back to release the push clip. Careful not to bend too far. Then work your way down, back and up. After all the white puch pins are free, pull the panel outward slightly and upwards. Start at the rear and slide off the top.
Some speakers are held in with Torx and others a #1 Phillips. Harness is a clip-style and Metra # 72-4568 are made to clip on without cutting you OEM harness. Provides a aftermarket terminal.
Good Luck and let us know if you need anymore help.
