Pull along the bottom and sides of the door panel to pop all the clips.
There is a big one below the side view mirror. You can see it on the door
panel. After all the clips are free, lift upwards to remove the door panel.
Disconnect any wiring harnesses are there and then move on to the speaker.
As for the speaker, I hope you've found a direct replacement because I had
to custom make a speaker mounting ring for the 6.5" Focal midbass I dropped
in.
