The speaker allows the device to play audio out loud. The replacement of the speaker may be necessary if your tablet does not play sound out loud, but still plays when headphones are plugged in.
The disassembly is relatively simple, but will require the use of a soldering iron to disconnect a couple of wires. Be sure to review the iFixit soldering guide if you do not have experience with soldering. You will also need to remove a couple of screws in order to take out the speaker.
