If you are disassembling the device to clean the speaker, clean it at this point with a soft, lightly dampened cloth.

What do you do if the yellow wire is already broken off the silver part? How do you reapply it?

Our white wire is halfway off, so I’m wondering if it can be soldered back on

Speaker measurements (measured with digital caliper):

0.25 W / 16 ohm / 35.5mm diameter (anything smaller will work, but will rattle around)

Yellow wire to leftmost solder point, White wire to rightmost solder point.

Embossed on speaker: 16ohm / M-0.25W / CPC

Also remember to back out the screws to where you hear a “click” before screwing them in (this finds the previous threads so you won’t make new threads in the screwposts).
