Hopefully none!!!

We (myself and Zimbo) did both of ours without managing to break any....

You know you don't need to take the whole back seat out if you're hands aren't gigantic... :D
Just remove the rubber door trim, and pull the panel back down to the floor, and about three quarters of the way back along the top of the panel. This should alow you enough room to be able to get in to take the speakers out and enough room to be able to get a reasonable sized screwdriver in for the job too.

Unless the trim clips fall out, you might get away without replacing any, although we had a few spare ones just in case...
The wiring is pretty easy to work out too from a head unit - but you might need to pull it out a bit to check the colours on the HU side to match 'em up! :D
