Tub Bearing

Tub Bearing

Steven from CA

Tub seal leaked, large bearing rusted & developed LOUD noise on fast spin.

Gloves, large channel lock piers, needle nose small & large vise grip piers. Buy special spanner tool for spring retainer ring clamp for the huge front door gasket.

There are many YouTube videos for info. If you are capable of changing bearings on the front axle of your car then this task is similar with a longer sequence of steps. WEAR GLOVES! Open cabinet metal frame has very sharp edges. Be careful when removing 2 counter weights from front of tub. Use old bearings for hitting new bearings into place in tub. Before the tub install put the huge rubber front gasket on the tub & clamp with inside wire spring clamp. After tub install in frame & supported by shocks & spring suspension, with front panel secured, open door & finish install of huge gsaket with outer wire spring clamp (buy & use special spanner tool for this finish task).

Take our front plate. Unscrew screws for weights. Take off top. Unhook springs. Take out tub.unscrew bolts. Tub is connected to a shaft spider like that connects to tub your bearings our in there. Might need rubber hammer. Plastic tub cover back part has an inner and outer bearing knock it out with flat screwdriver and hammer. Install new ones be sure not to hit outer bearing. To uninstall and install remove rotar assembly and stator assembly. Once bearings in out everything back together. Clean lines. Sand things down check wires clean pump. Clean pump line.
