GE DRYER
Model : DPXQ473GT0WW

Recently the blower wheel/fan has become loose and is always moving forward, and the fan blades start hitting the metal brace on the front of the dryer. I have ordered a new fan blade and the 2 clips that hold the blower wheel in place.

The question I have is how do I access this to replace it. I originally was told that the fan would just slide out through the hole, but I am fairly certian that this will not fit through the hole. Looks like I will need to remove the drum and access this from behind the brace.

Is there an easy way to access and replace the blower wheel? Any pictures showing how to remove the motor if this is necessary (or will it be fairly obvious when I look at everything after I remove the drum?

Thanks for your help!
