Default Replacing existing receptacle box

We just received a new stackable washer and dryer. I wanted to use a 4
prong plug and the installer installed a 4 prong pigtail in the dryer. I
then bought a new receptacle which I found is 2 1/4" wide to fit in a 2"
wide box. Is there a more narrow receptacle available? Or what is an
easy way to remove the existing box? It is plastic. I have a blue old
work box with the fold out tabs but I think it would be too flimsy for
the 240V plug. Thank you
