Very easy. There is line of screws on the bottom of the dash pad, and there is also one on each end of it. Pull it out and there are your speakers.

I believe there are afew screws in the defrost vent under the windshield, too.

Did you have screws there at one time? I know I definitely have screws there.

The Towncar has them in the defrost vents too. But yeah, its not that bad to get out, just a little awkward. You'll also probably need a stubby screwdriver and/or one of those Z shaped offset screwdrivers to get the speakers out.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

shove paper towel in the vents before you unscrew them so they won't fall in the defrost vent if they do fall. I have ripped a dash apart before to get the screws out.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment
