One of the speakers was a little tight but not to the point of pain. The collar is plastic with 4 tabs sticking out to hold onto the panel. If you don't want to re-use the speaker, cut the collar with some wire cutters (that's what I'd use). You might also want ot try a little impact with a hammer and screwdriver, but that might just make it spin more. Ya know I was just thinking, why don't you try to hold onto the grill side with one of hose flat rubber jar opener gizmos. I kinda reminded me of a pickle jar when I saw it. Hotch
