Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.
What's up guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. Today, I'm going to show you how to remove and reinstall a door speaker on this 2008 Chevy Silverado work truck. If you need parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1Aauto.com.
Open the door. We're going to remove this window crank. We need a window crank removal tool, so we're going to position the window crank in this up position right here. Take the tool. If you want to put it in the same location that it was, you could market before you take this off. And then we can get this and slide this down. There's a little clip we have to remove. Just push it down and then it slides right off.
To take this lock button off, I'm just going to use a pick tool. Just get in behind here and slide that little walk piece off and slide the button off. Next, underneath here we're going to take atrium tool, just slide under here. You can use a pick also. Get underneath there. Slide this cover off.
Next, we're going to take this cover off. Take my pick tool or a trim tool and slide that cover off. There's a clip right there and a clip right there. We're going to use a 10mm socket, extension, and a ratchet, and there's three bolts: one bolts here and two bolts there. Take those out. Might have to hold this handle up a little bit to get this bolt out. Take that bolt out. We'll just use a magnet to take that bolt out.
Next, we're going to take this trim piece off. Just us my trim tool. Get behind here and pry, it's just clips that hold this on. Three clips hold on on.
Next, I'm going to use a trim tool. I'm going to pop, there's clips holding the door panel on. Just go around the perimeter of the door panel and pop it off.
Once those are all popped off, you should be able to release right there. We're going to need to release the handle cable right here. There is two ears on the bottom of this door panel, so you can put it in service position so that you can leave it there while you're working.
All right, to take this cable off the inner door handle, I'm just going to use some needle nose pliers. Get in there, just going to squeeze. There's a tab, a couple tabs. I'm going to squeeze on the cable. That will release. Sometimes if you twist it a little bit it helps out. Pull the cable, slide it off, and then there's a ball on the end of the cable. This is where the two tabs are. You just need to squeeze these two tabs just like that to release it. Now I can grab the door panel and just slide it out.
Great. We're going to use a 7mm socket to take this bolt out. Take that bolt out. Then I can just grab a trim tool, get behind the speaker a little bit it might be stuck on there. Slide it out a little and then you pull up on it. There is a clip on the bottom, so you don't want to slide it out too far. To remove the speaker, use a trim tool. Get in behind this clip. You could use a flat blade screwdriver as well. Push down and the lock on the connector. Slide the connector out just like that. You can use another trim tool to take this fastener off the wire harness. Just like that. There's your speaker.
All right. We're going to reinstall the speaker. Just take the wiring harness and slide this retainer back into position, and clip the connector back in until it locks in place. Then we're going to slide this groove, this speaker, the bottom part, in. Push it into position. We'll take a 7mm bolt. Get that started. I'll take my socket and ratchet and snug it up. Not too tight, this is plastic.
A lot of times on these door panels, this little bracket breaks off the door panel right here. It's a common problem. It's not something that's extremely crucial for putting the door panel back on. The door panel will stay in position even with that broken, so don't worry about that too much. We can take the door panel and we're going to make sure this lock rod goes through that hole right there. That's good right there.
Get this little door pin in the hole on this side, that's in position. Make sure the rest is there. Once all the pins are lined up, you can start pushing it on.
I'll reattach this. If you had a foam insulator, you would put that in there now. This vehicle doesn't have one. Line these pins up, lock that in place. We're going to take these two bolts right underneath the handle, use our 10mm socket, extension, and ratchet. Just get that one started and then I'll get the other one started. Snug it up. Then I'll snug up the other one. Then down below here, underneath the handle, get this bolt in an tighten it down. Snug it down.
Take these two covers. This one is going to go down below. There's a little pin right there that goes through that hole, so you know which direction it goes. Get that position. Lock it in place. This one is going to go in this position, there's a pin, a little slot there. Lock that in place.
Right. Now I'm going to install the new crank handle. Remember this washer? It's going to go on the back side and just put this into position. Put it on the same way that you took off the old handle. Get it lined up. Make sure it's locked in place and it's good to go.
Then we'll take this lock button. Make sure this lock rod is all the way up. We'll take the button, slide it into position, and then push down on the lock part. Make sure it works properly and you're all set.

We're going to actually hit our dome lamp override, which just turns off the dome lamp. Then we're going to start up here at the corner. You can use a plastic trim tool, but I can just get my fingers behind here, pull straight out and off. You want to avoid pulling it this way, because as you can see this broke off in there. It still has two clips left though, so it'll secure fine. Then we're going to remove three other trim panels. And behind the door handle, put a small screwdriver in here, pry the bottom out and bring that out. You can see a 10mm bolt there. Then behind the door pull, use a small screwdriver to pull that out. Two more 10mm bolts are in there. Then your door lock, you want to kind of pull up a little bit and pry with a small flat blade screwdriver. That comes up and off. Make sure you retrieve that little piece if it flies out. If this comes out, just retrieve it and don't put it all the way in. Just put it like that. Additionally, you need to pull up your trim panel, plastic trim tool available on 1AAuto.com and put it in the back and pull up.
Okay, and then work it in at the front as well. You can see there's two clips at the front and rear. If you don't have a trim tool, but you have strong fingernails, you can get it out, and then just pull straight up on front as well. Then there's four harnesses to disconnect and you might have more. If you have more options, just press the tabs and pull out. Use a 10mm socket with ratchet and extension, and remove those three 10 mm bolts. These ones may stay in there after you get them loosened up. And in that case, they'll just fall down, and you can retrieve them after you take the door panel off.
Now there's a series of clips around the edge. I usually start at the top, pull straight out, and just work down, pull firmly at the bottom of the panel and the side. Then the door panel can come up and off. Then you'll want to disconnect your door handle, which is a matter of pressing on the tabs. There's two tabs. Press one, pull through, and rotate around. Press on the other one. That allows you to move that back. Bring it up and around. Then your door panel comes off.
The speaker has one screw holding it. Use a 7mm socket with a ratchet and extension, and we'll remove this 7mm screw. Then in behind, it’s hard to see, but there's a little clip. If you just put your finger in, you'll feel it pushed down on that clip. Then the speaker will come out.
Here's the little clip right here. You want to just push on that. Then your lead connects in here. You should be able to push with your thumb down, disconnect, and then twist and hold to remove this clip. If you need to, remove this clip from your old speaker, then put the clip on to your replacement speaker from 1AAuto.com.
I'm going to put this in first. We'll connect that and then let me put it up there and it was connected to this front one. I put the clip back in there. There's a tab at the bottom that goes inside the door. Then make sure that this is out of the way. Then your door insulation, clip that in and put the 7mm back in and tighten it up. Then you want to tighten this up firm, but don't overtighten it.
First, you want to just make sure that your bolts come out and that you've retrieved them. Then there are two tabs here that just go right into the door and rest conventionally, so that's supported. Then you can put this up. Make sure you have four harnesses that poke up through the opening here and work if you have more options on your truck. Then reconnect your cable, slide the ball in, pull out and push.
Again, make sure all your harnesses are up and through. Now that your cable's on, this ridge actually needs to go down into this channel here. So, hit the panel up into place. A little higher, you see it slides down. It should go down even. This should come right up through your lock rod. Then, if you look back in, you can actually see this pin here lines right up, and you can just go right around and lock the pins into place. So we want to be able to take these bolts and put them in. They’re a little bit loose, though. So, if you just take a piece of painter's tape, put it on the head of the bolt, stuff your socket on there, and it stays much better. You can guide it right in and start it out. If the painter's tape does stay behind, it's not a big deal, but tighten it by hand first to make sure it's in, and then tighten it up.
This one is pretty easy to get into place. Put the lockdown on. Snap that in place. This one, the round side goes underneath. Put this into place. Switch panel, these all only go in one way. So, like this one won't plug into there. It won't plug into there. It'll only plug into there. Then this one will only plug into there. This one can go in place. The last one, again, it has three tabs. One of ours is broken. Make sure it goes right straight in, kind of look in behind.
