Replace old speaker with new speaker then follow instructions in reverse order to reassemble
Knowing what part to purchase for the speaker itself would help. It doesn’t appear to be an off the shelf part so it’d have to be pulled from an existing unit. Found one on eBay, so I’ll be using this and my iFixit toolkit to make the swap.

After purchasing a replacement speaker, these steps worked well. Process to a fairly relaxed 20 minutes.
The only thing I’d add is that the speaker is part # AAC121217U22A, and appears to be a bespoke part containing two speakers.
Knowing what part to look for may help others looking for a replacement part.
