I have a 1972 GE Electric Dryer. The belt has broken and I need to know the specific steps needed to replace it. Obviolusly, I can remove it, but I need to know how to put an unbroken one back on. Also, I want to pull the drum to get at all the buried lint. How do I remove the drum? In addition, there was some sort of grounding strap behind the back bearing inspection plate. This strap was very brittle and is now broken. Is this a mandatory replacement. Also, as far as I can tell, it was attached only by a nut on the back of the bearing retainer plate which is held in place by 4 screws from the inside. I do not know whether the free end was originally attached somewhere. If not, it couldn't have been doing much grounding.
