you don't need to strip it to test bearings.just spin the drum by hand.if it rumbles they are faulty.also put fingers under the inner stainless drum at 6 o clock and try lifting it up and down vertically.movement here proves bearings shot.bra wires trapped or stuff stuck down the tub front can also rattle
