how to remove drum bearing, whirlpool AWM328?

How do you remove the bearing on the Whirlpool AWM328. It is not clear whether the drum is removed out the front or back or the bearing is pulled out from the rear through the metal casing.

The tub has to be split in two and then both the bearings and drum are accessible.
