How do I remove the woofer from ads 300 speaker?

Richard So who is an ADS repairman uses large screw type hooks generally used for hanging bicycles.  I had asked him how to get the tweeters out of my l1530's and that is what he suggested. Worked like a charm.

For those who don't know this speaker they are small, metal enclosures w 5 1/4" mid-woofers and a 1" (I think) done tweeter. A little bigger than an NHT Superzero.  I have tried prying the metal frame of the woofer w a screwdriver and it's hard to even get one into the space between the frame and the baffle, let alone apply any leverage, but I have not tried jacking it out using machine screws or bolts.  That sounds like a possibility.  The speaker terminal cups have no discernible fasteners that I can see from the outside and tweeters are as firmly in place as the woofers.  Not sure bicycle size screw hooks will fit into the small woofer mounting holes, but I get the idea and I'll see what I can do.  Any other ideas appreciated. 

You may only get a half turn but it will allow you to pull out the tweeter. 

there are pullers made for this type of work you could probably get a cheep one at a tool supply shop. basically a center threaded rod with two or three small hooks to go in behind and you jack them out there is sizes from very tinny to huge so take a look may find something. also if you only get a little sound or scratching when you push in on the driver it sounds like a voice coil wire broken or fused and works only when in certain positions. if that's the case its junk and you will need to replace the driver or have the driver re built with new voice coils and surrounds.

Thx, all; I got the driver out, which I needed to do to send for repair/rebuild. Surrounds are fine so my guess is voice coil needs to be replaced. I’ll be checking in w Richard So next.
