I have read on this site how to remove the dryer drum to replace the bearing. After taking the front off the dryer I realize that the drum is actually leaning against the inside of the dryer. My sqeaking noise could be a result of this while it is spinning (rubbing against the inside of the dryer). What should I do? I have not taken the drum out yet... not sure if it's a bearing issue or not now. I don't want to replace the bearing if that isn't the problem. The drum shouldn't be leaning on the inside of the dryer right? How do I fix that? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I have taken the drum out at this point but I don't know how to tell if the bearing is bad? The ball looks fine.

Never mind... figured it out. No thanks to anyone here.
