Peter for Model Number LG WM0642HW I intended to change the bearings. All went well until I had to get the drive shaft out of the bearings. Instead of an easy tap with a mullet I needed a puller. That worked. However, the bearings do not come out, no matter how hard I pound on them. Can I buy the whole metal assembly with the bearings? I tried to remove that but after unscrewing 23 bolts it still would not move out of the plastic part. It seems I am not the only one who has that problem. I bought the bearings and seal from you and would appreciate an answer ASAP.
Answer Peter, It can be difficult to remove these bearings. Once you have pried out the inner seal, take a long punch and knock out the lower bearing first, work your way around the bearing until it comes out. You can use a rust or lube type solvent to help loosen the bearing. Once that one is out, you should be able to get the other bearing to pop out. Read More...
