No, just do the following:
Unsolder the voice coil leads from the terminals on the speaker frame.
Remove the screws from around the perimeter of the speaker cone.
Remove the screw from the center of the speaker spider.
Carefully pull the cone away from the frame. The gasket at the edge is likely stuck to the frame; careful use of a sharp knife blade will assist in getting the gasket free from the frame. A little bit of acetone carefully applied between the gasket and frame might help. The cone is glued to the gasket on the bottom side of the gasket (against the frame), so work very carefully and slowly being careful not to cut or tear the cone. Patience is a virtue.
Set the cone/gasket assembly aside and do what you need to do inside the frame (replace wires, etc.).
Reverse the above procedure to reinstall.
