Larry L Vienna , WV February 07, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer A506 Maytag Washer A506: Inner tub would not spin on spin cycle. How to replace Tub Bearing Kit. Ordered the parts I thought I would need. Installed a tub bearing lit and mounting stem repair kit Removed the front and top. The inner tub was easy to remove but on outer tub the seal was frozen so bad the spanner wrench would not break it loose, needed a hammer and chisel to cut the nut off to get the tub seal broke loose. Once it came out the seal was frozen and had to cut the seal out. Them I cleaned up both tubs and reinstalled the bearing. everything went back together very easily and it is running fine now 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
