I had to remove the door first and then there were about six hex nuts that had to be removed. Then I removed the vent assembly below the drum and then the belt has to be removed before pulling out the drum to gain access to the roller. Unfortunately there were two and so I had to order another one and will be doing this all over again. The roller had one nut to removed with a socket I believe is 1/2 or 7/16 nut.

Read the installation instructions and went for it. Over all it was easy, and while you are in there clean as much as you can with a shop vac.
