Russ, You do not access/replace the drive belt from the back of the dryer. Access to the dryer cabinet interior is through the front of the machine. You would need to remove the top panel, control panel, front panel and front bulkhead to access and replace the drive belt. You may want to view the "how to" video attached to the parts screen for the 661570V Belt, it will give you a good idea of what to expect, and a basic knowledge of how to replace the belt.
