How can I access the lint duct assembly of a Maytag Centennial dryer?
If anyone else has this problem, don't try to take the dryer apart!

I found it's much easier - stick your head in the dryer, and get a good look at the Outlet Grill (Bulkhead Part #32).  (If the hyperlink breaks, the Outlet Grill is the part that holds the lint filter).  Lint covers up recessed screws on the grill that you need to remove.

Once you get the Outlet Grill off, you have plenty of space to get into the lint duct and clear it out.
