Bob, some lint traps are removable for cleaning and some you just get the lint out. Post a pic of yours and we’ll tell you how to clean it.
 Mine is removable. Step 1. put hand on handle. 2. retract arm and pull lint trap out. 3. remove lint 4. replace trap. Done.

Lint removed thanks to all the help from y'all. I was confused for a bit because no one told me that I first had to open the dryer door to access the lint filter, but after reviewing several You Tube videos, I worked it out.
  Also found my red sock.In other news, I took a short ride to see if I got the brakes right and I gotta say, it made a huge difference. I hadn't realized how much braking power I had lost over time. Before I could pretty much stand on the peddle without more than a bit of braking. Now I can lock'em up without too much effort. But they aren't grabby or anything untoward. I am quite pleased. Thanks again, team. I owe everyone a hug.

See, if I'd been around earlier, I wouldn't have told you to open the door. The lint filter on our drier is accessed with the door closed. You've done well all round, Bob.

The left side was much less worn so obviously there was a problem with the caliper sliding properly. I got my state safety inspection a couple of weeks ago and the fellow pointed out the problem. So I guess safety inspections are a good thing! Plus, he passed me in exchange for the promise of a prompt fix.

For those with a taste for British humour, a fine example of keeping it light in dark times may be found [url=https://lettersofnote.com/2009/10/28/we-all-feel-like-that-now-and-then/]here.
