remove the A pillar cover.
use a flathead screw driver,put some masking tape on the screwdriver tip.
And gently pry up the cover from left to right.
I think the speaker is held in by 2, 10mm bolts

There's no need to take anything off the pillar.

Take a quarter and stick it in the gap between the speaker grill and the dash, pry it up. It pops off easy. Speaker is right there. I did this just to add some foam tape around under those covers because they can be a rattle source.
