Today,
the connector and rear spider bolts are now removed and the tweeter wires unsoldered. Don't ever try to screw the bolts back in their holes for safekeeping because if you drop a washer it may go into the coil gap and you'll never get it out!
The point of no return. Cutting through the old surround with a scalpel. Make sure the rear spider is completely free before withdrawing the cone.
Corrosion in the horn mouth. I'll have to find a way of removing it without contaminating the tweeter or getting metal particles on the magnetic surfaces.
Scraping off the sticky goo remains of the old surround.
Having freed the ends of the cone braces, I'm removing the trapped remnants of the surrounds from under the strut ends with needle nosed tweezers.
A clean cone, ready for the new surround!
The new surround popped loosely in place prior to gluing. Its a perfect fit.
