Maytag bearing replacement?

Its time to replace the bearings, is there and quick and dirty steps to getting it apart. I don’t want to do any disassembly damage. I have looked around and can’t find any obvious fasteners to pull the top off to get started. I would appreciate any direction or help. Thank you!!

Here is a link to the service manual

There is a difference of opinion in the tech society on repairing this mode. I am from the side that says if you have gotten 10+ years out of this model and need to replace the bearings, it is time to replace the machine instead.
