Door panel removal/front speaker install?

I searched & "how to" section has a page but none of the pics load. Does anyone have a link to a proper page with some pics? What tools do I need to remove & install new front door speakers - I do not have any harnesses.

Removing the stockers and putting in JL Audio TR650s

Remove the door handle cup by the handle by putting a flat blade in at the top and pressing down on the little tab. Take the door cup on the armrest out by prying the screw cover off, then take a phillips screwdriver and take that screw out, then the cup, then the two screws on the bottom of the door panel. After that, use a flat blade to pry the plastic clips on the door panel away from the door itself. Theyre all around the panel. After that, pry the side mirror cover off that allows the screws to be seen from inside the car, then lift the door panel off and unclip the power window/door lock switch, trunk release switch on drivers side if you have it, and the courtesy light if you want to. Then just replace the speakers.

Just do all of that. If you need pictures, you probably don't need to be doing it yourself. Lol.

You don't have to, but i found it makes it a little easier to put the panel back on. Being this is the first time he is going to do this, i figured I'd make it as easy as possible. Or try to. Lol.
