Between steps 3 and 4 I needed to disconnect the red speaker cable (right speaker step 4 image). I can see you didn’t need to. The cable came out and returned to a socket.

I was able to follow this guide to disassemble my Harman/Kardon Esquire 2 speaker to also replace the battery, which had dropped to only holding about 20m charge.

Process is almost identical, just a bigger unit/speaker.The battery in this unit was a “GSP805070” 3.7V 3200mAh, 11.84Wh Lithium Polymer, this had swollen to nearly double its thickness.I was able to find a 3500mAh replacement on eBay.
