tweeter replacement, original glued in


I've an old pair of Michael Green monitors with a VIFA tweeter that a troglodyte burned.  I tried removing the tweeter by unscrewing the 4 and tapping out.  Seems now that the whole thing is glued in.  Any great ideas for tearing this out without destroying the cabinet face and mounting surface?  Thank you in advance.

It’s quite likely you just have decomposed foam behind the faceplate.

Can you remove the woofer and push from behind??

erik,

Did exactly that and it is quite solid.

jond,

You are right, I've seen his posts.  Thanks.
Pooh.

Is this the type of tweeter with small screws that hold the tweeter motor to the faceplate? Those usually have replaceable domes, AND you could, if very careful, unscrew it, leaving only the faceplate attached. After removing the motor you could insert a thumb, or perhaps a razor from the back.
I am not responsible for any blood loss this may cause you though! :)


Best,
