The AppliancePartsPros free online repair video was extremely helpful, but did not prepare me for the difficulty encountered in removing the bearings from the washer tub, also the 8mm bolts which fasten the drive-shaft spider to the stainless drum. After soaking the larger bearing with penetrating oil for days and only destroying the tips of my punches (same kind the technician used in the video) I finally persuaded the stubborn bearing out with a length of 1-1/2" inch steel pipe and a 4-lb sledge (no more "Mr. Nice Guy"). The plastic washer tub somehow survived the heavy blows! Be forewarned the 8mm spider bolts appear to be installed at the factory with maximum-strength Loctite, or an equivalent thread-locking compound intended for fasteners which will never need to be removed. The odds don't favor that all six bolts will come out using only a wrench -- the bolt will likely spin the nut, which is restrained against turning by a hex-shaped cavity molded in plastic. (The nuts are secured in the plastic lifters inside the drum, and the lifters cannot be removed without first removing the spider bolts.) I was lucky to free five of the six spider bolts in my washer with a wrench, then had to use a Dremel rotary tool with a cut-off wheel to remove the head from the one bolt that wouldn't cooperate. That left me in search of an exact replacement from a used machine, or to settle for the closest match from a hardware store -- new replacement bolts are not available. A local used appliance store let me look through their scrap pile and I found an identical drum and spider assembly. I only needed to salvage one of the spider bolts, but in the interest of science was able to remove three of the six -- the other three spun the nut in the plastic lifter before the thread would let go. At one point I did consult with an appliance repairman who was familiar with this washer. He clued me he doesn't even try to install a new drive shaft on the original drum due to the bolt removal headaches -- instead he orders a complete new drum and drive-shaft assembly. Hope these insights may spare you some frustration -- good luck!
