Hi Michael,
You can simply pull the fabric from the frames (yes, it's heat bonded - with glue as well I think?) and you'll need to use some decent glue to re-stick your new fabric.
The best we've found was 'false nail glue' which Steve, our Warehouse Manager, stole from his wife! (well, that's what he says but I don't ask what he does at weekends...)
Also, the weave of the acoustic fabric has to be just right. If it pulls and stretches in all directions it can be a nightmare - but if it stays fairly rigid when you stretch it you can achieve better results.

I'm currently building a set of speakers with a fabric cover on the front. I had very good results using a hot glue gun in attaching fabric to 3D-printed frames. The glue sticks nicely to both the fabric and the plastic. I've found the working time to be just long enough for attaching the fabric but short enough so I don't have to hold it in place for more than a couple of seconds.
Might be something to consider.
