A dryer I once owned had two little spring catches one on each side that had to be pushed back or forward, I forget which way. If you didn't release them prying would just break something. Also there was a small plate about 5 x 5 inches on the back that was held on by two screws. When it was removed it gave access to the drum bearing. A C ring had to be removed and then the drum would slide forward and out, that is if the front had been removed first. But you couldn't get at the screws that held on the front until the top had been lifted.
