It helps if you roll down your window first.
After step 5 I pulled off the door panel(held on by clips) A little jerk is needed.
The step lamp is easier to remove with the panel off.
then follow the rest.

Hope this helps

littlebuddha19, thanks for the help with the
door panels. I'm thinking about just replacing
the speakers starting with the rear. Almost
everyone says it doesn't do much good, but
I have a hard head.

you should also have 5 screws out of each door. If you don't the panel will not come off.

6 screws in front doors and 5 screws in the rear.

I replaced all of the main speakers in mine.
Factory size is 6x9 in the front and 6 1/2 in the rear.

if i was replacing the factory speakers i would not put 6x9s back in, i would change them to 6.1/2" components

How about getting the window lever off the front door? there isn't a screw... I don't have power windows, poor me!!

Just curious about your 6x9 statement, why would you replace with 6.5 instead?

Let me be funny here. I don't know if this will work for a Titan but the neighbors wife almost completely removed the door on hubby's vett by backing into the garage with the passenger door open. Sometimes you just have to stand there and laugh out loud. So I guess if you open the door and back into the garage at about 40 that should work . I have seen it.

There is a little retainer clip that you have to get off. It's not that big of a deal, i've been successful with a rag but they do make a tool to do this. I got my tool from crutchfield.
