The dryer was squeaking loudly
I looked on you tube and was able to determine the cause and order the parts I needed to rectify the issue. I removed the the top panel and the front panel. I replaced the bearing.

evidently the pulley spring on video was very very very weak
the pulley spring took so much pressure to hold it down it took 3 men and a boy to hold it and place it in position to to get the belt on. Also there is not enough room to get your arms and hands in without getting some small cuts.Ultimately I removed the screws in the back of the dryer and spread the side of the dryer out to gain proper access. It was an easy repair if the spring would not have been so strong.

Drum was squeaking and making a lot of noise!
Took apart the dryer housing fairly quickly, pulled out the drum, and installed the kit. Was fairly simple. Then reassembled. The hardest part was trying to get the belt on properly and reconnect to the motor. Believe it or not, I wasted most of my time on the belt. Should've watched the video better and listened to my wife and her suggestions.

The felt seal came out, and drum slides were cracked
We watched the YouTUbe video of Steve from this site and followed his instructions for how to replace the top bearing on the dryer, and the seal. It went quickly and easily, and his instructions were perfect. It helped that the model in the video matched ours almost exactly.
