My dryer is making a horrible grinding noise but does spin. I was able to take the top of it off but I need to look under the drum to see if something is stuck under it. I can't figure out to get the thing apart. Please help.

Are you sure it is a MDE500DAYW OR is it actually a MDE5000AYW.
The following is for the 0AYW unit,

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for MAYTAG MDE5000AYW Dryer - Ele | AppliancePartsPros.com

And a manual

Grinding is often front glides, Item 8 in Section 7.

Of course check all other moving parts.
I would also check the belt, rollers etc, might as well give it an overhaul while you have it opened up.
Give the interior including the blower wheel a good cleaning.
Also clean and check your vent system.
