Bob,
A lot of times speaker wires have slide-on connectors that avoid soldering altogether. If it has that, note which wire goes to which post and just slide them off. Then unfasten the speaker, replace, refasten, and slide the wires back on the correct posts. Same procedure for any type of connection/replacement. IOW, do exactly what you said.. snip them off, clean off some casing to expose new wire metal, and resolder. Just make sure to get the wires on the correct posts!
Best, Paul
