Some of the rocker switches can be PRIED out from the outside as they have plastic "springs" at the ends... look at you new one.
IF you can pry the old one out you MAY have long enough wires to allow the old one to come out a bit and transfer to new one and push it back in.
ELSE you have to take the amp out.
USUALLY the speaker and the board it sits on remains in the cabinet.
There will be screws that hold the amp in... You kind of have to try to find which to remove to release the amp chassis. You may have to remove the speaker wires or wires to a reverb tank... MARK ALL these and restore to exact same places.
HINT: Once the screws are out, OFTEN the Tolex cabinet covering loves to catch on the chassis so you have to fight to get the chassis out... a real pain and THEN putting it back in the Tolex fights you again !!!
