Yeah shoot them to my email that you probably still have. But I think I have it:

Remove door
Remove front panel via 4 screws.
Pull Belt off
Pull tub
Element down there somewhere

pretty much, once the door and panel are off it's like any other Maytag heavy duty, you take the support panel off and remove the drum belt. I would recommend replacing belt as it;s like $10 and you don't want to take this all apart again.
Probably not a horrible idea to throw a new thermal fuse on as well.

I'm on my laptop in my truck now when i get home I'll see if I can find more.

I know I cursed these dryers a few times when i first encountered them The old maytags you opened with a paint scraper and then took off two 5/16 screws. (and the old Whirlpools had the easy access back--current Amana still use this design)
