Do yourself a favor and download the Halo of Heat service manual from the Automatic Ephemera site. It will explain the disassembly process in detail. It’ll only take a few minutes to purchase and download. Also, which felt seal did you get for the drum? The electric version only uses the smaller seal that fits around the drums opening. It keeps small metal objects from tumbling through the gap and shorting out the heating coil. The larger felt seal that fits around the drum and drum cover is only used on gas models.

It's difficult to understand what stage you're at by your post. It sounds like you haven't pulled the blower cover off yet. Post some pictures of your current progress and we'll help you solider on. Most noises from these dryers come from the drum rubbing against the heating element shroud (the cabinet MUST be perfectly leveled in all directions with the rear panel in place) and dry blower bearings.
