Yes it does. You might look at Harbor Frieght Tools. They sell a door panel tool real cheap, but you can also use a putty knife to work the panel loose. First remove the screws around the latch. I can't remember where the screws are, but you will probably figure it out.

I just bought a 2002 XLT, so I have to do it again. Was looking at the 6"x8" speakers on the Crutchfield site.

definately use a tool when taking off the panels or you'll bend clips. other than that the door comes off really easy. I just installed 4 polk db570's all around and it went in in like 45 min. (sounds really good too).
