Mend Hotpoint TL21 Tumble Dryer Jockey Wheel

Where can I find a diagram of my Hotpoint Dryer?

I have a Hotpoint Aquarius Reversomatic Dryer Plus TL21. Having found a website that shows a diagram on fault finding, it suggest oiling the jockey wheel but I do not know where it is located, hence the request for a diagram of my very old but still good working dryer that is making some noise as it goes in one direction only. If its not the jockey wheel that needs some oil on it can you tell me what else it could be. A new fanbelt was fitted 2 years ago.
The User Hanbook I have was printed in June 1994. But does'nt help me to fix the noise. Apart from the noise it works very well. Thank you for your assistance.

The jockey pullies are located at the bottom of the drum and are hooked into the base of the cabinet. you really need to grease these pullies rather than oiling them and the best way to do this is by removeing them.
At the rear of the drier there is a plate with about 8 screws holding it on, behind this plate is the motor and either side of the motor are two arms each with a little wheel on, these wheels hold the tension for the belt and it is these wheels that squeek, but you may find they need replacing rather than just greasing because the hole in the center wears and they tend to wobble about.
