Dean L Oakfield , WI May 25, 2015 The tub bearings were worn out This was the 2nd time replacing the front and rear bearings in my Maytag washer. It went much easier, since we put antiseize on the bearing housing last time. Still needed a slide hammer to pull the rear though. 3 1/2 hrs start to finish, with 1/2 hr cleaning the tub and inner drum. Could not use updated seal (again) it does not allow the tub to go in all the way into the rear bearing. Reassembly was easy, only 2 tries to attach cable and spring on the boot. Works perfectly and QUIETLY now. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
