The dryer was making a lot of noise and clothing would get stuck along the drum
UNPLUG THE DRYER FIRST!!!

1. Open the dryer door and unscrew two screws connecting to the the top of the dryer.
2. Lift the dryer top and then pull the front of the dryer away from the frame (it should be a lift and pull motion)
3. Disconnect the power cord that runs to the dryer light
4. Unscrew the bearing top from the dryer front and pop the old bearing top assembly out
5. Insert the new bearing top assembly and reverse steps 1-4 to finish the install.

I recommend that while you have the dyer opened, you take the time to clean out any dust and lint from the interior.

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.

Dryer Not Starting
First I replaced the timer, but dryer still did not start. took apart dryer, jumper out door and componet near motor to see what problem was and to be able to run dryer while opened up. Actually motor had seized up just enough to not allow motor to start rotating. Lubricated motor shaft and rotated motor for oil to work its way in. Tried starting again and motor started. Buttoned dryer back up and reconnected wires to appropriate places and started dryer again and again.Worked for 4 loads of laundry and still working for 3 loads on Wednesday. Working fine

The dryer would not start.
The entire dryer had to be taken apart to get to the door switch. I determined the door switch was faulty by measuring conductivity. I purchased the new switch which cost about $9. The shipping cost was $9. After all that, the dryer still won't start. I gave up and bought a new dryer.
