Getting the chassis out is the problem. There is a brown wire and grey wire connecting the clock to the main AC power cord connector. Should I de-solder the wires at the clock or at the AC power cord connector?

I do whatever is easiest to get at. It looks like the motor leads should be unsoldered at the power interlock. You still have a lead from the chassis to the switch on the clock movement. I see it has a Westclox movement.
The knobs might be held captive to the cabinet, so they won't pull off completely.
