Do-It-Yourself Story

Followed your video and tore the washing machine completely down. VIdeo was very helpful, but there were a few differences. Initially was going to only replace the bearings, but after removing the spider decided best to replace that also - as shaft was scored. Most difficult part was removing the old bearings, but a 4 lb dead blow hammer remedied that. It also helped with the installation of the new bearings. I also replace the 3 shock absorbers and the inside door seal retainer. Stretching out the spring was also difficult -made easier by two people. The machine is now back together and operating as new.
