Very easy to install

Replacing the part took about 20 minutes using a socket set and small screwdriver

Part was identified in the illustration correctly

Suspect problem was a loud continuous squeal. Dryer was easy to open with 1/4'' nut driver. Removing one self tapping screw with a shoulder for a pivot holding the tension assembly was simple. When replacing the wheel, be sure to polish the axle with emery cloth. It is recommended to use no lubricant because oil and grease collect lent.

Easy to install but no instructions

Had to take the whole dryer apart to get to the pulley but this was the fourth time taking it apart so I knew what to do. Also found a YouTube video earlier that was helpful.
