Audio Systems: help with 1991 Honda Accord Stereo & Speakers, speaker units, release tools


Question
Hello and thank you for helping out with all of these questions!

I'm trying to remove the factory installed stereo and front door speakers of my 91 Honda Accord.

For the front speakers, I'm having a hard time because there's a small panel covering JUST the speakers, but it has screws on the back that are nearly impossible to get to so I'm left with removing the entire door panel. (I THINK, unless you know of another way).  I have electric windows and I have popped all of the edges off and removed as many screws as I can see on the arm rest, etc. The panel is jiggling and shifting a bit, but something smack in the middle is keeping me from pulling the rest of the panel off. I can't see far enough in to see what's catching. Have any ideas? I could use the help!!

As far as the stereo...I'm trying to remove the old unit to put in a newer one. I can't get that stereo unit out for the life of me. I see 2 screws right above the unit kinda underneath the panel cover, but they don't do a darn thing as far as I know. The unit wiggles slightly along with an empty compartment below it. Also I can't even see behind this dash and don't know where to start with it. ::sigh:: Hondas AND Toyotas can be tough to exchange stereo and speaker units, I've done a small amount of work on them before in the past, but I'm not accustomed to this "new" vehicle and I'm rippin my hair out. LOL

Thanks so much for your help and I apologize for the lengthy questions!

It has been sooo long since I did an Accord :(
On the door panel, I would guess that you have a missed a few pop pins. They are often located not just at the edges of the door.

As to the deck, you'll need to remove the bezel screws above the unit. Then the bezel should come off exposing screws that hold the deck in the dash.
It may be a slide in unit from the factory.. those are more difficult to get out without a pair of the proper release tools.

I wish I could help you more, but seeing in it person is 95% of the issue.
