It appears that the tension pulley may have sepearted from the end cap, but not sure as I am not sure if these two pieces stay together

To open it, take out the screws inside the top of the door jamb that hold the top on and take the top off. You can now take off the front, and disconnect the door/light wires to get the front free. Reach inside and release the belt tension and the drum should come out.
