Do-It-Yourself Story

Front and rear bearings as well as seals needed replacement. All were badly worn (but this is an old machine). I could not remove the bearings with standard install/removal tools. I had to remove the entire Outer Tub in order to gain better access. There were lots of screws, but not really too difficult. Once the Tub was removed, I was able to hammer the bearings out with some threaded rod, washers and nuts. It took quite a bit of force to get them out but they did come. Everything cleaned up well and the new bearings pressed in fine. Parts were in-stock and arrived on-time. Included instructions (and on-line videos) were helpful.
