How do you remove the stock tweeter?

Also, anyone taken off the rear deck to get to the rear speakers. The base system doesn't have the speakers in the doors like the premium system does.

For the rear shelf speakers access/removal, just remove the grills with a tool like this:

I'll probably just end up removing the whole trim too.
