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?



Find a stiff coil spring whose I.D. will just clear the plastic stud,
start an end beneath
one of the fingers of the "nut" and screw it into the nut, Once it
contacts the base of
the speaker, the further coils will start lifting the fingers of the nut,
and off it
comes.

Helps if modify the end of the spring so the tip of the wire is curved up
a little bit so
as to avoid digging into the surface it will meet.
