If I recall correctly(it was about 50 years ago) you have to rip the grill cloth off. I changed my AR-2a to AR2-ax speakers with a $10 kit from AR and I kind of recall tearing off the old grills and nailing(?) on the new grill cloth which was part of the kit.
Follow Ups:
I had a pair of 2ax's new back in the 70's. Getting off the grills without destroying them was difficult but possible. I used a wide metal spatula to gently pry the grill frames off. Yes, they were nailed to the fronts of the cabinets.
You can probably find the "new" midrange unit with which they replaced the two mid-tweeters. I recall Henry Kloss had a low opinion of those drivers.
I had a pair of AR2ax that I got rid of because the potentiometers were driving me nuts and I didn't have the skills to do surgery.
I also had a pair of KLH6 which sounded great with a PAS preamp into a Rotel ss poweramp and a Marantz CD63se. The PAS still had tone controls and by goosing them a bit I could get a magnificent sound out of the Chess Chuck Berry collection on CD!
It's never too late to turn back the clock.
