How am I supposed to remove the door panels to install new speakers in the doors? I have the non-bose speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The door panels are not that hard to get off.
First you take the screw out of the arm rest and pull the arm rest off.
Then there are 3 more mounting screws (underneath where the armrest was) to be removed that secure the panel to the door.

After these screws are removed, the only thing holding the panel to the door are plastic pegs all around the circumference if the door that are molded into the cardboard paneling that "snap" into the frame of the door. Carefully remove these one by one and then snap off the trim for the door handle and lift off.
Do not pull too hard when pulling the panel off because the moldings in the cardboard for the snaps rip easily.

When I remove the screws behind the circular covers it doesn't make the armrest any easier to remove. Any ideas?

When you remove the screw behind the circular cover, shift the armrest back about a half inch and then it should lift off. After yiou remove it, you should see 3 more screws in the door panel.
