Took the top and front of dryer off as per the instructional video. Easy, only 7 screws and about 20 minutes. It actually took more time to unplug and move to my work space in the garage than to disassemble. It was easy to see where the damage was. Got online and ordered new front drum bearing, slides, and felt. I even used the online chat because I could not find the felt right away like the other parts. In just minutes the representative sent me a link to the part number I was looking for. I didn’t even know what to call it, I just described what it was and he found it. The parts came as promised. The extra $ for two day shipping was well worth it. Everything installed by hand. Put it back together. Easy job. GE quality parts. Saved money. My father in law just spent more than double of my cost at a repair shop for a similar issue. I pulled mine apart Sunday and was back together on Wednesday. Good luck.
