Description: Use this guide to replace the binding posts in...

Steps:

1. Remove the speaker grill from the face of the speaker by using both hands to grip both ends of the speaker grill and pulling up to release the magnetic ends.

2. Remove the six caps from the outer edge of the face of the speaker with an iFixit opening tool.
3. Make sure to remove the rubber caps slowly and carefully so that the ends won't break off and create a blockage above the screws.

4. Remove the six 4 mm Phillips #2 screws that are located inside each of the holes where the rubber caps used to be.
5. The screws vary in depth, therefore you will need a Phillips #2 screwdriver that is around 6 inches in length from the tip to the start of the handle.

6. Place the device face-down, then lift off the back case with both hands.
7. The speaker sometimes takes a little effort to remove the speaker back, so we recommend that you give it a couple shakes by placing each hand on the speaker face and the back when shaking.
8. If you decide to use the shaking method, make sure you're near an immediate surface near you just in case it drops.

9. Lightly grip the material that insulates and covers the speaker components and remove it by pulling up.

10. Remove both wires that are connecting the back of the speaker to the components of the speaker to fully access the speaker components.

11. Use blunt ESD-safe tweezers to slowly move the binding posts back and forth to remove each of them.
12. You may need to give it a little more force than you need, however make sure that you pull straight up to make things easier.
