Default How difficult is it to replace a blown front speaker?

Wifes driver side door front speaker is shot. I'll do the swap if I can get her a speaker for the thing.
I'm 60. Got bad knees; too.
I don't mind doing a little wrenching and saving having to bring it in.

What am I looking at to remove the inside door trim on an '02 Civic Sedan with Electric Windows and Mirrors and such?
I'm in the market for a Stock Honda DrSide Speaker.

What am I looking at? How long is this going to take?
Anything that I need to be careful NOT to do?

if the door panel in the seventh gens is anything like the ones in the sixth gens your not gonna have to remove the door panel. just wedge a screwdriver in behind the cover of the speaker and pop it off. then there should be a couple screws remove these and u should be fine. its relatively easy for a sixth gen but idk how easy for a seventh.

if it is a sixth gen like jprommel said take them screwes out and you might have to cut some wire and add some becuase on mine there was a dumbass plug in for the stock ones and i had to cut it off and re wire. no big deal it was easy

I went out and looked at it real close.
The Speaker is behind plastic mesh that is molded righ in the door.
I don't think it pops-out.
Looks like the whole door has to come off to get at it.
