As scary as it sounds and as gentle as I could do it, I used the central vac. It was pretty quick when it happened but it's pretty much like new. It snapped out when I got to within about 1/2 inch from contact. My cat decided to use the grill as a climbing post to the basement window. The grill probably saved me from worse damage. Now I have stuff stacked on each speaker to keep the critter away.

Good luck, Troy
