If you remove the midrange driver you will be able to see the cable going to the tweeter. On the cable there is a small plug allowing easy replacing of the tweeter unit. It could be that the plug is corroded or dirty. Try cleaning the plug with alcohol and see if this will not remove the problem..

We are not talking about the Nautilus range - but the matrix range. No tools needed (except for a phillips screwdriver - and you can not remove them the way you described..)

Actually, you can remove the tweeter grille without taking the midrange out. Its kind of a snap on device, so you will need to twist it with a moderate amount of force, but not something that should damage the tweeter in any way.
Then putting the new grille in place is easy.
Of course, removing the midrange is the best way to do it, but as I said, you can also manage without.

PS: Removing the midrange is pretty straight forward, so I would not be to worried of I was you..
