Vandersteen 2c sock removal

How do you remove the sock without damaging it, and the speakers? I bought a pair of 2ci's recently and I think the foam surrounds on the mids are starting to fall apart, Is there another way to find out if the foam is gone or is removal of the sock the only option? I would appreciate any ideas

Thanks

I know that if I shine a flashlight through my speaker grills I can see the drivers pretty well. This is probably dependent on how tightly woven the grill is, though. I'm not sure what the Vandersteen's is like.

I took the wood rim off the top of my 2cis. Once it was off, I had full access to the drivers below which I cleaned with compressed air. The rim was stuck on with glue and it took a well positooned wide-blade putty knife and a little muscle to lift off but it separated cleanly. The rim's fit is tight enough that it nestled back on top -- no need or thought of regluing. You cannnot tell the caps were ever off.
