Hello Kim. You will need to remove the door, and the clips and the front panel of the dryer. Once removed, you will remove the two brackets holding the top assembly down. Then raise the top and turn the tub by hand until you can install the baffle WP33001755. You will use 33002973 for the baffle screws. Hope this helps.
