    The dryer has a drum that turns -- and spins the clothes. There is a shaft on the back

    Of the drum that rides in a bearing -- the front rim of the drum rides on a wear strip --

    Usually has a piece of plastic it glides on. The rear bearing kit needs to be replaced

    ( REAR DRUM BEARING KIT ) and the wear strip probably needs replaced. Not all

    Dryers have a REAR DRUM BEARING some ride on rollers -- small wheels

    What this means is the dryer needs to be tore apart and the drum removed to replace

    The rear bearing -- plus the wear strip probably needs replaced -- this takes time as

    It is glued in place and needs to be clamped in place and allowed to dry... Then comes

    The hard part -- reassembling the dryer -- putting the drum back in is not that hard --

    But getting the drive belt back on can be a bear -- tight spot and trying to put tensioner

    In place is no picnic... Probably comes apart easier than it goes back together...

    Most appliance stores have parts or can get them -- give them name and model

    Without knowing dryer brand and model can not tell you what parts you need


    REAR DRUM BEARING KIT?? Or Rollers --- Also need wear strip to support front of drum
