Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a front speaker on this 2005 Ford Focus. The items you'll need for this is a window crank removal tool or a paper clip, flat blade screwdriver, a 1/4" or 6.5mm socket and ratchet, a T20 Torx bit, and a 6mm socket.
Take a paper clip and make a tool out of it. Want to bend it like that, bend this all the way straight. I'm going to take a pair of pliers and I'm just going to grab the very end of it and bend it right up into a little hook. Now I can take just a regular screwdriver and create that separation I need. Put my little tool in here, rotate it, and pull it up. That pulls the clip out and it comes off.
Pry off this small cover and then pry off this panel on your pull handle. Then remove these two 6.5mm bolts, and then this T20 and this series of T20 screws around the outside of the door panel. We'll just fast-forward as Mike removes all of those. Now pry off this bezel and then slide it forward. Pull out on this triangular panel, and then take your door panel and just lift it up and out of the window sill and pull it free.
Now remove these four 6mm bolts that hold the speaker in place. Pull the speaker out, push the tab on the harness, and disconnect it.
Take your new speaker and reconnect the harness if applicable; otherwise you may have some wiring to do. Then replace those four 6mm bolts and tighten them up.
Now, before replacing your door panel, pry out on the door handle and slide it forward. Take your door panel and feed the door handle through the panel. Then push the top of the door panel back down into the window sill. Once you have it lined up and back in place, take your door handle, push it in, and just slide it forward. Then re-clip this triangular panel, slide this bezel back into place, and push it in. We'll fast-forward as Mike replaces all of those bolts and tightens them up. Replace that screw cover, and then just take that panel for your pull handle and slide the top in first. Then clip in the bottom. Make sure that clip's pushed in on your window crank, and put that washer into place. Then push the window crank back onto the stud.
