The rears are 6 1/2" rounds. You get to them by removing three 10mm nuts on the inboard side of the speaker baffle (from below) and LOOSENING three more on the outboard side. The baffle is slotted rather than drilled so there's no need to take those outboard nuts off completely and lot's of reason NOT TO! There's also a 2 or 3 inch tweeter back there but just cut it loose and leave it in place. The new speakers are all two or three way and will cover for it. (You CAN hook the factory tweeter up in tandem but I see little reason for doing so.)
The fronts are 4" and are replaced by removing the grills only. Two #10 torx on the sides and one on the top. There can be a pain getting out with the A-pillar moldings in place but is do-able. Again, there are factory tweeters in place and you can play around with whether you want to continue using them. The replacements will most likely have their OWN tweeters. In either case (front or rear) be certain to retain the in-line capacitor if you reuse the existing tweeters. It keeps bass frequencies out of the tweeters and is essential to their living longer than 5 minutes. More than you ever wanted to know, I suspect!
