How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP4324356 / WH02X10265 Tub Bearing Split Ring

REPAIR was successful.... The major difficulty I had was getting the Hub Nut off, Yes I had the spanner wrench and turning the correct way.... Many people have this problem..... Easy solution for me was just drill many holes in the nut, ( being careful not to drill to far)..... The nut is soft metal and very easy to drill and then I use a cold chisel to take the nut off in pieces.. Not a hard task.. the rest is just nuts and bolts, just follow Appliancepro Video... ~"ATTENTION"~ I made 1 mistake, here it is so you will avoid doing the same....... Putting things back together I did use a new Hub Seal, but when I was done I looked underneath while it was filling up and agitating, I seen water dripping down the shaft... :( I took the inner tub back out to check and see what was going on and remove the tub seal..........I looked at the top of the hub bearing (I called it a sleeve) something didn't look right so I took my finger and picked at it... There was two small circular very thin springs that came out of the old falling apart Hub Seal...... They were around the shaft between the hub bearing (sleeve) and shaft hard to see.. Remove.,,,,Reassemble it works great now... Hope this Helps someone...... 

Tightened the belt, but that didn’t help. Popped the agitator off and saw that the inner basket hub had disintegrated. Ordered a new hub, nut, spring ring, and belt. I have the ultimate set of tools so I didn’t buy the spanner wrench. I did have to cut the frozen hub nut off, other than that, everything went smoothly. The videos were very helpful. The parts arrived the day after I ordered them. I also took some time to clean 20 years of machismo off of the inner and outer baskets. $80 in parts vs a new $300 machine. I should get another 10 years out of this machine. 

Replaced Axel shaft, while I was in there done all seals, bearings, and belt. At the house in 2 days and all was right parts. 

The videos I watched were very helpful and gave me an idea as how to proceed with the repair. 

Bought new washer. 

I replaced the transmission/mode selector. This repair was complicated because the machine had 2 model # tags. I began by ordering mode selector for the model # listed on the sticker under the lid. when my parts arrived I began deconstruction, only to find a second model # sticker on the rear side of the control panel. I ended up having to return the parts ordered for the first model# and getting the correct parts for my machine.The repair video(s) were the key to my success, as well as the friendly, sympathetic and helpful staff of AppliancePartsPros.com. I am a retired do it yourselfer and this is the 4th repair project the I've successfully completed, thanks to AppliancePartsPros.com 

Replaced old corroded parts. 

Followed the steps in the repair video that was on appliancepartspros website. Although, once I got to the hub it was corroded so bad that it wouldn’t turn. Since the nut is aluminum, I took a hacksaw and cut it vertically on each side until I was able to chisel it off with a screwdriver while being careful not to mess up the threads on the shaft. Removed old parts and installed new. Now it works like new. 

Replaced the hub nut, tub bearing split ring, tub seal, hub washer and agitator coupler. I watched multiple times the APP video. It was extremely helpful and I would not have attempted this without seeing the video. I had a lot of trouble getting the hub nut off. I used an 1 5/8" 6 point strike box wrench and a 4# hammer to get it off. I sprayed it with WD 40 5 or 6 times over of the course of a week to let it soak. I finally got it off. Had I known that the shaft is not round I would have just cut the nut off with an oscillating saw with a metal blade in an area of the shaft where there are no threads. The shaft is square and threaded only on the corners so cutting it in the right place will not damage the threads. When I put the new hub nut on it is 1 11/16" so I had to use a different wrench. Maybe my original nut was the same size but corroded. The key to getting it off is to buy the proper spanner wrench. In the video it appears that the wrench used is not an exact fit which when using a hammer it needs to be. That is why I did not buy the wrench on APPs website. 

I replaced the tub seal, tub split bearing and tub bearing. I found the old tub seal diameter to be larger (due to expansion caused by rust). I had to use rv sealer to seal the gap, all worked out ok. The seal has to fit in tight or it will leak.
