2. Loosen the screw of the metal cover plate and all the other screws of the speaker.

A small metal bracket is attached to one of the screws. Memorize the orientation of the bracket to put it back in the right direction later.

The loudspeaker is strongly glued to the frame. You can use hot air again to loosen the foam frame properly.
