Its a simple enough job (kinda), you need to take out the rear seat, there are two bolts that need to be undone for
for the upright section. You should then have access to remove the black plastic cover that surrounds the speakers, you'll see what I mean when you're doing it.

OK..

1. Use hooks underneath to remove horizontal seat section
2. The vertical section is secured with two bolts that are screwed to the chassis, these are visable on removing horizontal section
3. When you've taken this out, you will be able to see under the black plastic facia surrounding the speakers. There are screws here that you will need to remove, I don't remember where exactly but it should be straighforward at this point. I'll be doing this tonight as I'm replacinhg my 6x9's with a decent set of JBL 100W RMS units, I'll let you know how I get on.

Right, there's 2 screws holding the black plastic panel in take em' out and the panal pulls up to reveal the speaker screws.

I've now got my Rockford Fostgate components up front and JBLs in the rear, I'll be installing a 4-channel Rockford amp on the weekend and when I get another amp and sub in the boot, you're gonna hear me comin' a mile off ;)

If you're talking about the bolts for the vertical seat section, they should come out handy enough with a socket or a spanner. You could use a vice-grips but you'll may foul the hex on the bolts.
