Denman's advise is correct, but usually by the time the motor goes out the blower is on for good. So I would buy a new blower, and then take the back off the dryer, and where the filter goes in, there are four screws that hold the blower housing in place, they are 5/16th of an inch screw, and remove the housing. Then , the way I do it is get a hammer and pound the center out of the blower wheel, and then remove it. The $15.00 for the new blower wheel is worth the aggravation, and, you will only teat up the blower shaft. Tom www.applianceweducator.com
