no wonder, you'll never get it apart that way.

Leave the front clip on
use the biggest cresent wrench you can on the blower wheel.make it as tight on the plastic as you can.
rotate the cresent wrench to the right so it's up tight against the cabinet or drum roller shaft
then take a big pair of vise grips and lock it on the belt pulley, lock it in the 12:00 position as tight as possible.
then wrap some electrical tape around the vise grip to keep it from unlocking.
now take something solid an hit the vise grips to drive them clockwise.hit it hard

this works 90% of the time or more.

Lock the belt pulley end shaft in a vise.
Use a pipe wrench to remove the nut on the blower end.
If that fails use a Dremel type cutting wheel to remove the nut.

What are the Vent temperatures ?

With an empty load, Timed Dry, High Heat, the vent temperature should cycle somewhere between 135F and 160F

Check the Vent air temperature at the back of the Dryer using a probe-type thermometer.

Dryer Vent:
Vent should be rigid metal.
Short lengths of flexible metal may be OK, if not crimped when moving the Dryer into place.
NO plastic
NO PVC
NO screws
Foil Duct Tape is OK.

Check / clean the Dryer Vent

Disconnect the Dryer Vent and check for good air-flow there and where it exits the house.
