Per AI you have to access the tweeter assembly from the underneath by removing the mid/woofer driver first and accessing the tweeter mounting from inside the cabinet.  Apparently there is a  nut holding the assembly to the cabinet.

Yeah I have heard that too but i doubt it, that’s why I wondered if abyone has actually tried?

B&W offers a help line on their website which can probably answer your questions.  

My 801Ns use a similar mounting for their tweeters and while I haven't removed the complete tweeter unit I have replaced the tweeter itself in one of them and the bullet housing is attached to the midrange unit similarly to the description offered by AI for the Formation.

Good luck,

Bill
