Same case was with 80jr.
I took them out together, first released the chassis, then the speaker and pulled them out.
Then when I had to handle chassis too much I eventually desoldered the speaker, but I did label every wire which I strongly advise you do too.
To Codefox's suggestion I could add: do not plug it in until you make sure the tubes are OK, especially the audio output tube(s) - this can whack the output transformer.
And overall it does not hurt to make sure your rectifier is OK and there are no shorts to the rect. output before you commit to pluggin in the speaker.
