My tweeter stopped working, when I press on it lightly from some corners, it turns back on. I suspect the tweeter voice coil is broken.
I removed the rear small panel, and have access to the single screw at the back of the magnet. However, I suspect I need to remove the front plate of this speaker... Any idea how?
This diagram from the same series of speakers (C7), but the construction is relatively the same... Is it glued in place? Do I pry it off at the edge?
Also what is the appropriate coil replacement here? I see 19mm/0.75inch Aluminium, 8ohm... I see some options on aliexpress on ebay (titanium and aluminium)... would appreciate any help! I'm total newbie to this type of stuff but have a background with electronics/electrical components repair.

Based on the picture you are looking for the same tweeter as here: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/issue-with-tweeters-from-kef-c7-speakers.397744/

Replacing diaphragm-coils on tweeters is hard. (but great sport)
Check with Midwest Speaker Repair in Minnesota. They have KEF replacement items, and you may be able to remove that entire intermittent tweeter and swap in a close replacement. After removing that front plate. Hey guys, how can baller remove that thing without breaking it?

Update! I managed to remove the tweeter! The part number is TW+C1...
It appears to be the same as this one:

If you describe what was necessary to remove it, it might help someone in the future with a similar question.
