in-dash speakers

i can not get my in-dash speakers out. My socket set wont fit under the winshield and the screws are metric and my wrenches are standard. How did you guys get yours out?

Re: in-dash speakers

buy some decent tools. You got money to buy new speakers you can go buy a decent tool set with metric AND standard wrenches *cough*Craftsman*cough*

Re: in-dash speakers

What i ended up doing was for the smaller sockets i just went to the dollar store and bought a set for like 4 bucks i do believe it goes all the way up to 1/2 inch. and what ever is close to that in metric... But im not cranking on them enough to ever break them... and then i just bought a little ratchet screwdriver thing from walmart. Works wonders for all the int stuff. I just keep the case in the car under the seat its like 5x8 inches... and i can use that no problem to take out any plastic pieces or any of that stuff. Then i also got a small torx bit set also for relatively cheap. for the bigger bolts i actually went and spent the cash for a nice set... i got craftsmen sockets because all i have to do is drive like 4 miles to sears if they break and then i gt snap on wrenches and all that jazz.

Re: in-dash speakers

are you throwing the speakers out after you take them out of the car? if so and you dont want to buy a small socket set just rip the guts out of the speaker and hold the nuts inplace with youre fingers while you unscrew the screws.
