What is the best way to safely pull the woofer from the 4 Pi enclosure? The driver is flush mounted with the baffle with no room to grab the frame.
I received a soldering iron and solder from a co-worker and will repair the connector that was broken on a crossover during transnational shipping of the speaker.

Wayne, Tom and Bill,
Thanks for the advice, I am optimistic that the allen wrench will do the job as the woofer is not touching the edges of the cut out (~1/16th inch gap). If not, I am pretty sure I can pull the terminal plate and push it out as suggested by Bill.

I use an Allen wrench to lift the woofer (or horn) from the mounting holes. Remove all the screws, and put a decent size Allen wrench in the hole. Tilt until it catches and lift out, basically using the wrench as a prybar.

Worked well once the driver frame broke free from the butyl rubber gasket I made. Repair on the broken terminal on the crossover complete!
