Slotloading iMac G3 Speakers

Any special trick to getting them out? I plan to swap the ones of our old G3 soon... would be handy to know how.

Thanks for the link... looks like there's some G4 manuals there as well that could come in handy later.

I have found the description of removal of the slotloading iMac speakers in the service manual to only bend the plastic tab and make the speakers loose. :\

That's how. And then you slide them off the divider panel.

According to the manual, yes. According to my experience with multiple iMacs, no.

Perhaps I am just not bending stuff enough? I don't know, kinda scared to use more force as _all_ of the the plastic in G3 iMacs is not at all known for quality and durability over long periods of time.

*shrug* I have even tried using very small thin objects to pry the tab while I slide the speaker off with no success.
