Dude,
this is awesome. I rolled up my sleeves and started doing it. It took me more than 3 hours just to reach to woofer. I didn't had proper tools and I was just being careful. This is my first DIY and I think I picked up a long and a tough one. But I swear. The rattling noise of sub woofer was driving me nuts. I could have done anything to get that problem solved.
Any way I have been following step by step and I think you didn't miss a single point till now. Congratulations on a wonderful DIY. i have never seen a detailed DIY like this.
To the point. I have removed four bolts on sub and removed the ring around it. Also loosen the cable from trunk. The only thing remaining is to PRY the sub.
Looks like it is quite firmly stuck in there. Am I missing something? As you can see, I am trying to be extra careful not to break anything. Let me know if it is just pressure.
Another thing I would like to add to folks who don't want to get a new SUB rightn now and just want to get rid off rattling. I just Removed the sub cable and boy my ML sounds wonderful without even having a SUB. I know you won't get a bass that you used to get from SUB, but it is not bad either. There is plenty of bass from ML speakers and If I cannot repair My sub, i would leave it disconnected as rattling can drive me nuts.
Let me know what to do. My awesome lexus is a big mess right now and I blame you for that :P . J/K
Thanks
