I have 2 Altec 418 bins 2-15's that I want to remove the 418's and replace with a 421A and a siren thru a crossover. Problem is that the 418's are stuck literally to the cabinet with all the nuts and washers off.. I can literally pick up the cab by the speaker frames and they don't wanna budge. I'd like to get them off without damage. Anyone else run into this??? Any suggestions????

Just yesterday I loaded two re-coned speakers into a twin reverb and I had to beat them over the mounting studs as these drivers where not original and the stud spacing was a fraction off.
This is likely the way those 15" drivers had to loaded into the cab at the factory!
Make yourself two short hard wood wedges and tap them under opposite sides of the drivers little to rock the drivers up little and remove them.
If this fails report back as there are two other more difficult ways to get them out.
If you do get them out sit them mounting flange to mounting flange on the 421s you want to load in and line up the mounting holes, if the holes look the same then take the time to drill out the 421 holes a tad bigger.
