Easy as pie. So far this revelation (how easy re-foaming is) has allowed me to buy great speakers at ridiculously low prices... $15 for the pair of A70, $20 for a Pair of Infinity RS-225, and less than both of those for a pair of Polk Monitor 4. Add $25 bucks to each speaker and all six have cost me around $40 a pair.
There are tons of videos on youtube showing just how it's done. Mny times you can even find someone doing it to the very same pair you have. I know the Polks and the Bostons were both there.
The toughest part is removing the glue from the original surrounds but even that is really easy. It takes me about 30 minutes to clean up a speaker. Then about 10 minutes to apply the glue to the inside lip, then wait an hour then apply to the outside.
I never have bothered to remove the dust cap to shim the voice coil. So far after doing six of them, I haven't had any issues with the voice coil rubbing. I just make sure to lightly push down on the cone during the glue-up of the outside edge making sure nothing rubs. If you are concerned about that, there is a way to center the voice coil using a tone generator on the iphone. But I have never used it.
