Do-It-Yourself Story

We replaced the rear outer tub assembly. While it the washer is fixed and working very well and I am happy that my father and I fixed it ourselves because we were able to take our time and clean any of the parts that had shavings from the bearings and residue from use, the repair did not go as smoothly as we had hoped. The inner tub assembly did not want to separate from the outer tub assembly and it took quite a bit of brute force to hammer the shaft out of the outer tub assembly without causing any damage. The door lock harness block is VERY difficult to detach and reattach, we were unable to grab it through the door opening and needed to go through the side with caused several cuts on my hands because of the sheet metal. We were able to get the door boot seal back on without the use of the clamp, but it did take 3 people and some strength. The washer is running nice and quiet now, but I am glad the repair is over. The video with Simon was done very well and helpful, although I suggest placing the back panel on after you replace the top hose clamps in case you happen to drop your wrench.
