Do-It-Yourself Story

Purchased the seals kit, the front and rear bearing kit as well as the belt and bushing kit. I'm here doing the repair now I'm replacing all wear items as well. No sense coming back later to do what I already have apart. Watching different versions of the bearing install was extremely beneficial. I took my good old time and cleaned all washer parts at disassembly. I can't stress the point enough cleaning the bearing seat location. It took about 1-1/2 hours alone with emery cloth as well as a 1-1/2" flap wheel. The videos over simplify this part. My particular washer has been in service since September 2004. With well above average use. I have 7 people under my roof 3 of which are TEENAGER'S. This is the first time it required any service. 16 years! The total time for me was about 6 1/2 hours over 2 days. I also had rust issues to address as well. This is a great company to deal with. Very very good service. The parts were early by 2 days. Couldn't be more satisfied.
