Do-It-Yourself Story

Replaced the hub nut, tub bearing split ring, tub seal, hub washer and agitator coupler. I watched multiple times the APP video. It was extremely helpful and I would not have attempted this without seeing the video. I had a lot of trouble getting the hub nut off. I used an 1 5/8" 6 point strike box wrench and a 4# hammer to get it off. I sprayed it with WD 40 5 or 6 times over of the course of a week to let it soak. I finally got it off. Had I known that the shaft is not round I would have just cut the nut off with an oscillating saw with a metal blade in an area of the shaft where there are no threads. The shaft is square and threaded only on the corners so cutting it in the right place will not damage the threads. When I put the new hub nut on it is 1 11/16" so I had to use a different wrench. Maybe my original nut was the same size but corroded. The key to getting it off is to buy the proper spanner wrench. In the video it appears that the wrench used is not an exact fit which when using a hammer it needs to be. That is why I did not buy the wrench on APPs website.
