How to remove a ceiling speaker cover

coverremovalspeakers

I have speakers in my ceiling and I need to get the covers off to check the settings. I've tried pulling them with my fingernails and a plastic knife but no luck so far. Any ideas?

I have seen the magnetic type, they are out there. Most of the ones I seen are held in by pressure fit.

To remove the ones you have you will need an item small enough to fit inside the holes with a tight bend in it to serve as a hook to start to pull at the corners. A dental tool has hard enough steel in it to pull with out straightening out. You need to ease a corner out just a little then pull out a little farther down the edge till you get to the other corner. Work all the way around like this a little at a time. Say about 1/8" out. If you pull it out too much at one time you will deform the grill and it will be really difficult to reinstall. By the time you go around the second time it will come free.
