Lawrence L Largo , FL August 08, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Atlantis Washer MAV8600AWW Bearings were worn out makeing a lot of noise I had a lot of problems removing the spin hub, I had to use an air impact wrench to un screw it even then it was very hard, it did not go easy with the hammer & pipe wrench as shown in the video. It was also very hard to remove the bottom spin bearing I had to cut the bearing retainer with a dremel tool so I could get my puller on it. After I struggled to get it apart The repair went very easy, I used brake spring pliers to remove the springs it worked like a charm. I am very pleased with the results, It works Like a new machine, would I do it again, Yes even though I am 72 years old, The video's were very helpful, Thank You Lawrence Lyons.

Robert W San Angelo , TX October 19, 2016 Appliance: Maytag Atlantis Washer MAVT634AWW Mavt634aww grinding noise in wash cycle no movement in tub While trying to remove tub seal hub (which came off in six pieces I call it a "TOUGH" hub) I accidentally cracked the outside tub. I have received the new HT transmission which came with a new tub seal kit PN W102119156. I ordered a seal kit when I ordered the transmission not knowing it came with a tub seal. I also ordered an outside tub it is on manufacture back order. AppliancePartsPros.com is keeping me up to date on the back order part, The hub was the hardest part to remove. The video's were very helpful and I received the in stock parts in only 2 days, that's fantastic! This washing machine is a Maytag Atlantis which is 12 years old have never had one problem with it until now. AppliancePartsPros.com was able to get every part that I needed and an excellent price, "OUTSTANDING JOB" Thanks! I will let you know how it went when I receive the tub and get it installed.

Jason L Lees Summit , MO September 24, 2014 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer A212S Sticking/seizing agitator output shaft leading to belt failure leaving washer inoperable Perfectly! Replacing Agitator Shaft is not for the faint of heart. Replacing output shaft pinion gear on the bottom of the agitator shaft requires care, experience and patience with pressing/driving drift pins without damaging the gear itself. One slip of the drift/punch or press apparatus will ruin the gear/teeth face and will lead to failure of the transmission internally when put back into service. As best as I can tell the pinion gear is discontinued and no longer available so take care! Be sure to replace all seals, gaskets and transmission oil for a comprehensive long term repair. I'm sure a new tub bearing and stem repair kit will also be in order if your making this repair. Best of luck everyone!

Ping J Southborough , MA June 15, 2021 Appliance: Maytag Top Loading Washer SAV515DAWW Loud noise like jet engine during fast spin I suspected the main bearing had worn out, and I was right. It is a difficult job, because I am retired, I had the time. During disassembly, I found the hub had rusted really bad, it needed replacement. I did not buy special tools. The manufacturer repair manual says to use three OEM tools, I made some tools with wood. Simon's video is a big help. Now the washer is quiet, time will tell how good a job I did. This is the first time I opened up a washer, the second time would be much easier.
