Having read the procedure to remove the chassis in the Trader Sheet, I think you don't need to do all that to reach the speaker nut.

I suspect (without doing it) you could:

Pull off the volume and tuning knobs. Be careful, these turn very brittle with age and you can easily break off the boss that goes onto the spindle.

Remove the 4 nuts (4BA, 1/4" nutdriver is near enough) that retain the chassis to the back of the panel.

Lift the chassis aside to get to the speaker nut. Do not lose the spacers on the chassis fixing studs.
