The english door cards are different mate so that guides no good really. Follow steps 1 and 2 but then discard the rest.
Once the door pull cover is off you will see to screw holes (Pozi/philips) remove these screws, then remove the door lock pin.
If its your driver door then start at the bottom right of the door card, you can just get the tip of your fingers between the card and the door, give it a sharp firm pull, the clip should release, do this all along the bottom of the door card and then up both sides, once all the clips are released you need to pull the door card up and away from the door, pulling it out from under the window seal, reach behind and unplug your speaker. Jobs a good un  :wink:

i have done it several times without breaking them.  be gentle, use a flat wide tool - you can buy trim removal tools which i found good.

take handle off, then start gently at the outside bottom edge.  work around the bottom and up the sides, so then you can wiggle it up and out.

Benvictors has it spot on mate once youve done it once you can do it with your eyes closed its that easy. Dont buy any special tools for it there really is no need.
