You cannot remove the baffles without disassembling the entire tub assemblys.
To access the inside of the washer cabinet remove the two or three phillips head screws at the bottom of the front of the washer and the lower panel below the door will come off to give you access.
If your ring is anywhere it is probably caught inside the lint/debris trap #40 on the diagram. You will want to remove the entire rubber drain boot that connects between the pump and the bottom of the outer tub. Also try to reach inside the tub with your hand through the hole where the rubber drain boot connected if you do not find it in the lint trap.
I would not recommend anyone other than a skilled technician attempt to disassemble the wash tubs on this machine.
Good luck to you on this!!
Testimonial: "Thank you very much for the info. I did realize the front cover comes off after I had the machine on its side. With the lower front cover removed, and the access slot in the bottom floor of the cabinet gave the room I needed to get the hose clamps back on. I did find my ring and about &2.00 in change. What a releif, the world is right agsin!. I'm glad I did not force the baffle off. Sounds like I would have had to replace it."
