The repair video is indispensable, along with customer comment section on the video. Overall, the repair was not too difficult. I spread the repair over several days since I replaced my washer before attempting to repair the existing washer. I figured if I could fix the existing washer, it would be a nice gift for my daughter and son-in-law. If I couldn't fix it, then it would be recycled anyway. I just tried a test run of the fixed washer and it works like a champ. So, my kids should be very happy!
A couple of repair hints... Getting the wash tub spindle out of the bad bearings was a bear! I tried the wood and hammer approach. Nothing. I tried wood and 3 lb sledge hammer -- nothing. I tried rust buster and heat -- nothing. What did the trick was using a heavy piece of metal with the 3 lb sledge hammer. I used a towing receiving bar as my piece of metal. After a couple of pounds with the sledge hammer on top of that bar, it popped right out.
The other thing I would recommend is removing the rear shock absorber before the front ones. When I did the front ones first (following the video), the tub swung forward and it separated the rear shock. I was able to put it back together, but if you do the rear one first, you won't run into that problem. Remember to go in reverse when you put it back together -- install the front ones before the rear shock.
Other than that, this repair was so much easier than I imagined. I used my ipad to start/stop the video as I did the repair -- very helpful. Thanks!
