Joe Strauss has done an excellent job....

There were several others who decided they were going to challenge Strauss last time around.

Strauss has a lot of strong wealthy supporters. It's going to take a significant coordinated united effort to unseat him.

Support (donate) any conservative candidate who may run against him. I'm afraid the only way to remove him as Speaker is to remove him from the House.
