Do you want me to kill myself?! Indigo shards stabbing me everywhere! 😛

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

Look under Speakers in the service manual. It will tell you 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. :\

... but they get _really_ loose and don't get tighter. :S

:?: After they're loose, can't you slide them off?

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.

I bent and wiggled it with all my force since my iMac was already dead. 😛
