How to Remove Door Speaker 2007-13 Chevy Silverado

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

What's up guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today, I'm going to show you how to remove and reinstall a door speaker on this 2008 Chevy Silverado work truck. If you need parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1Aauto.com.

Open the door. We're going to remove this window crank. We need a window crank removal tool, so we're going to position the window crank in this up position right here. Take the tool. If you want to put it in the same location that it was, you could market before you take this off. And then we can get this and slide this down. There's a little clip we have to remove. Just push it down and then it slides right off.

To take this lock button off, I'm just going to use a pick tool. Just get in behind here and slide that little walk piece off and slide the button off. Next, underneath here we're going to take atrium tool, just slide under here. You can use a pick also. Get underneath there. Slide this cover off.

Next, we're going to take this cover off. Take my pick tool or a trim tool and slide that cover off. There's a clip right there and a clip right there. We're going to use a 10mm socket, extension, and a ratchet, and there's three bolts: one bolts here and two bolts there. Take those out. Might have to hold this handle up a little bit to get this bolt out. Take that bolt out. We'll just use a magnet to take that bolt out.

Next, we're going to take this trim piece off. Just us my trim tool. Get behind here and pry, it's just clips that hold this on. Three clips hold on on.

Next, I'm going to use a trim tool. I'm going to pop, there's clips holding the door panel on. Just go around the perimeter of the door panel and pop it off.

Once those are all popped off, you should be able to release right there. We're going to need to release the handle cable right here. There is two ears on the bottom of this door panel, so you can put it in service position so that you can leave it there while you're working.

All right, to take this cable off the inner door handle, I'm just going to use some needle nose pliers. Get in there, just going to squeeze. There's a tab, a couple tabs. I'm going to squeeze on the cable. That will release. Sometimes if you twist it a little bit it helps out. Pull the cable, slide it off, and then there's a ball on the end of the cable. This is where the two tabs are. You just need to squeeze these two tabs just like that to release it. Now I can grab the door panel and just slide it out.

Great. We're going to use a 7mm socket to take this bolt out. Take that bolt out. Then I can just grab a trim tool, get behind the speaker a little bit it might be stuck on there. Slide it out a little and then you pull up on it. There is a clip on the bottom, so you don't want to slide it out too far. To remove the speaker, use a trim tool. Get in behind this clip. You could use a flat blade screwdriver as well. Push down and the lock on the connector. Slide the connector out just like that. You can use another trim tool to take this fastener off the wire harness. Just like that. There's your speaker.

All right. We're going to reinstall the speaker. Just take the wiring harness and slide this retainer back into position, and clip the connector back in until it locks in place. Then we're going to slide this groove, this speaker, the bottom part, in. Push it into position. We'll take a 7mm bolt. Get that started. I'll take my socket and ratchet and snug it up. Not too tight, this is plastic.

A lot of times on these door panels, this little bracket breaks off the door panel right here. It's a common problem. It's not something that's extremely crucial for putting the door panel back on. The door panel will stay in position even with that broken, so don't worry about that too much. We can take the door panel and we're going to make sure this lock rod goes through that hole right there. That's good right there.

Get this little door pin in the hole on this side, that's in position. Make sure the rest is there. Once all the pins are lined up, you can start pushing it on.

I'll reattach this. If you had a foam insulator, you would put that in there now. This vehicle doesn't have one. Line these pins up, lock that in place. We're going to take these two bolts right underneath the handle, use our 10mm socket, extension, and ratchet. Just get that one started and then I'll get the other one started. Snug it up. Then I'll snug up the other one. Then down below here, underneath the handle, get this bolt in an tighten it down. Snug it down.

Take these two covers. This one is going to go down below. There's a little pin right there that goes through that hole, so you know which direction it goes. Get that position. Lock it in place. This one is going to go in this position, there's a pin, a little slot there. Lock that in place.

Right. Now I'm going to install the new crank handle. Remember this washer? It's going to go on the back side and just put this into position. Put it on the same way that you took off the old handle. Get it lined up. Make sure it's locked in place and it's good to go.

Then we'll take this lock button. Make sure this lock rod is all the way up. We'll take the button, slide it into position, and then push down on the lock part. Make sure it works properly and you're all set.
