My daughter is wanting to upgrade the speakers in her '05 Tucson;
speceffically the ones in the rear doors. Does onyone know if there is any
particular "trick" to the proper removal and replacement of the rear door
panels? Any special tools needed? Do the panels use replacable attachment
pins?

I don't recall removing one of these recently. I believe it's a
simple matter of removing the attaching screws-- don't forget the one
in the handle bezel or the ones potentially under trim covers-- and
then pulling out on the bottom of the panel to detach from the door.
Lifting the whole panel upward once detached should lift it off the
window sill. Typically, so few of the fasteners break that you won't
need replacements to solidly reattach the panel. If necessary, you
should be able to obtain replacement pins.
 
Try, after removing all screws, sliding the panel forward then up. I think that is how i did mine on my 05
