Can anyone prvode instructions on how to remove the back pillars to change out the speakers in a 05 F-250 crew cab? Does the rear seat have to come out?

Thanks

I've done it both ways. First time I tore up my hands so the second time I removed the seat. It's heavy but not difficult and makes getting the pillars out and working that much easier.

I removed the seat belt bolts that attach it to the cab. Then removed the weather stripping (pulls right off). Next the sill plate, pulls right up and off. Finally start to remove the pillar. I started slowly at the top and worked my way down. I looked between the plastic and the cab to see where the next spring clip was and tried to pull from those points. Otherwise you end up with discoloring the surface of the plastic because of stressing the plastic (turns white-ish).

Hope this helps!

I also removed my seat and then the weather stripping and the sill plate. I then used a long flat screwdriver to reach in and snap the clips loose. After getting everything changed out and put back together, I couldn't tell a whole lot of difference in the sound. The design of the rear seat pretty much blocks most of the sound of the rear speakers. I should have just saved my money and left the stockers, since my front components fill the cab pretty well. Go out to your truck and run the radio with the fade set to the rear speakers and you will see what I mean. Just my $.02
