Thomas H Indianapolis , IN January 12, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Washer- Horizontal Axis MAH6500AWW Maytag Washer Mah6500aww: Bearings needed to be replaced (washer inoperable due to bearing failure). How to replace Outer Tub Assy, With Seal Kit.. Started to try to replace the bearings only, but couldn't get the rear bearing race out (didn't have the "Tony tool" .... tried everything else except cutting it out). Decided to replace the outer tub. Replacing the outer tub was a pretty easy repair (although much more expensive). I also replaced the drive belt and the door boot seal. There are a number of very helpful youtube videos. Working like new. 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
