My first dilemna was that the blower wheel on my Whirlpool electric dryer was completely stuck on motor shaft. I was just trying to remove the wheel to replace it. The wheel had broken into pieces somehow. I vice gripped the shaft on the one end and turned like heck and it was so darn stuck that a piece of the shaft broke inside the old wheel. NOW unfortunately I have to replace the motor. The wires were easily removed but I can't figure out how to get the motor out of the casing. Please help, I was trying to save money and I was proud I was doing it myself and now I am completely stuck!
I access the motor to replace it but can't seperate it from the fan wheel.

You need to pretty much disassemble the whole machine. the top cover comes off, the front panel with door comes off. the drum lifts out to access the motor as it is bolted to the floor.

please go to this site and type in your model number. www dot partselect dot com. they will present you with a diagram of how your machine is put together. you are looking for the motor/blower so just highlight the motor and the site will give you an exploded diagram of how that part is installed.
