A trick that I find sometimes works okay is to lift one side of the 'speed
clip' and simutaneously rotate it so it screws off like a nut. It sort of
chews up the plastic post, but they can generally be screwed back on later.
Cutting always works, but be somewhat careful because the steel is fairly
hard spring stock and will easily ruin a good pair of cutters. A Dremel
abrasive wheel would be good, but usually would be difficult to get in
position. If you go that route, take it easy since you do not want to heat
the clip so it melts into the plastic!

The speaker in this is held on by those round, push-on steel washers. The
washers just push over plastic pins that are molded into the case.

I'm saying "washers" for lack of a better name. They are round, about ½"
in
diameter, and the hole in the centre has slits that allow it to flex as
its
pushed on.

I want to know the trick to getting them off without snapping the pins
they
are on. Anyone have an idea?
