How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP5306324 / WH01X10618 Nut Hub

To access the tub seal, complete disassembly of the washer unit was involved, including removal of the dryer unit on top in order to pull out both tubs. The motor and bearings must also be removed as well from the underside of the outer tub. 

I purchased the parts I thought I needed and found out I did not need to buy the washer, or seal. and not as the transmission came with these parts. I also purchased the spanner wrench TB123A I also needed the Agitator mounting bolt (Agitador WH01X10619 / AP5306325) as my rubber seal was destroyed when it was removed so I had to wait for it to come in to complete the job. As for the job, it did go fairly easy for me, but I am also a certified auto mechanic and a trained Jet engine mechanic. The problem I had was removing the basket assembly from the outer tub. After three days of penetrating fluid and a lot of beating on the transmission, it finally came loose. After cleaning all the old parts, the assembly went together easily. Make sure you get the spanner wrench and a large hammer to remove the nut, if you do not you will wish you did. Overall, this took me about 5 days due to the stuck tub and waiting for parts and cleaning old parts. I am sure it saved a lot of $$ compared to hiring someone to do the task. The washer is working great now............ 

Cut off transmission support shaft and drove out Of tub basket. Cleaned and put in new one. 

Removed the agitator shaft and cleaned everything. I had to buy a 12-inch extension to remove the bolt that holds the agitator in place. 

Replaced the Bearing and seal support assembly from Appliance Parts Pros. Assembly was easy, the new parts fit perfectly. Disassembly was difficult because of the corrosion. Works great now.
