Getting the tub and driveshaft and bearings out is all a roll of the dice. My tub was stuck but I used a piece of 2 X 4 cut to fit inside the drum and the scissor jack from my truck and it came right out. The driveshaft was hard to get out as well but I squirted it with PB Blaster penetrating oil and that helped. Really, taking it all apart was the hardest part.

it definitely took quite a bit of effort.

Saved me hundreds of dollars! Bought the $54 kit in Amazon instead of the $120 just for the appliance guy to show up plus cost and labor. Took me 4 evenings because I had some differences and additional troubles I'll describe to help the next person: 1. My kid's licking tabs were different and additionally required unscrewing a 1/4" hex from the top of a green hinge on the back so the lid can be pulled forward and then the locking tabs pushed. 2. Same problem where I had to use a car jack and block of wood. 3. The nut on the bottom of the drive shaft was completely seized so I had to destroy it with a grinder. 4. Drive shaft was stuck and wouldn't come out with my 1 lb hammer. Don't waste your time people and just get a 4 lb hammer and it does the job. 5. Couldn't get the new drive shaft in, seemed like it was getting caught on the upper bearing and didn't want to destroy it by hammering it. Splintered my wood block trying to use that to hammer it. Eventually found out my car floor jack's handle fit perfectly over the splines onto the thick flat part, and hammered that instead where it eventually seated itself. 6. Don't forget to hook the drain back up before you run it for the first time! Oops.

Great Video a few call outs when pulling tub out washer I used the scissor jack method from another video. But it still required me to pount with a hammer on the large metal gear for a while don't be to afraid of hitting it hard and use the metal rod from the bearing kit. Lifting the washer up and down a lot requires space I pulled mine into the garage. This project took me about 5 hrs. It would have been less if I was not afraid of breaking tub by hitting gear really hard to get it out. This is the really hard part but cut wood to 22.5 inches and car sizzor jack made it a whole lot easier. The bearing too is a must to use. Clean every part you take out to make machine smell better.. Good luck.

Followed this video and it was great. Only one gotcha. In my case the washer between the sleeve and the bearing on the stattor side wasn’t tight enough in the diameter. Not sure why but after 3 attempts trying to get the shaft through (the washer just jumped around preventing the shaft to go through) we instant glued the washer to the sleeve to prevent that and bingo it worked. The glue held it just long enough to keep everything aligned.

That was very informative. Thank you!

I clicked the amazon link and purchased the, OCTOPUS AP5325033 & AH3503307 W10435274 Bearings Washer Tool Kit. It didn't come with a thrust washer but instead a thrust bearing for the lower tub bearing install. Please note that the upper and lower bearing presses are not labeled, but they are different. The top has a longer press than than bottom. I watched the AppliancePartsPros video to get more information on this repair and it certainly looked like they used the wrong bearing press on top. Only 4-5 threads were showing on the bottom of the press rod. I bent the spacer tube and bottom bearing washer. I couldn't install the drive shaft, so be very careful. I simply used my OEM spacer tube and washer and the drive shaft inserted perfectly. The unit needs to seal overnight so I'll check back in after a few operational checks. Thanks again.

Hi Phil, again. I got my parts today and started in replacing the bearings. I removed the basket and discovered there is trapped water inside of it. Have know idea how it got in there but that has to be a problem. Wondering what your thought is on that. Yes, the bearings are shot but I'm thinking the trapped water in the basket could be causing the UL (unbalanced load) alarm. I could drill holes and get it out and maybe fill the holes with silicone but maybe it will just go back in.

A few notes after doing this: not all lids open this way: I had to remove two screws in the rear and slide it forward. The kit I bought did not come with the bearing seat wrench. I tried making one, I tried renting one, but in the end, the only thing that worked for me was a hammer and a scrape 2x4. The Drum took forever to get out. PB penitraiting oil helps, but let it soak. I also used the car jack BUT I had to ad a strap to the board and rachet it to the ceiling in order to finally getit out. I had to put the bearings in and take them back out several times till I managed to get them in straight. I also had to hit the drive shaft in order to get that to seat. Initally, it was too high. Stripped one screw at the begining, but managed to get it out with pliers. One of the bolts on the bottom snaped off from over tighting it, but when all was said and done, it worked. Thank you for posting this very informative video.

It didn't go ez for me either......due to that bearing ring getting stuck.

What was the kit #, and maybe post a link Where you purchased the kit. I have the Bravos 300, but finding kits for the XL. EXCELLENT VIDEO;very linear in your explanation.

j. Dm I need the one for Bravos XL and can't find one, could you share with me!

No grease on the bearing first at 7:50? I’m following this vid and another and the other vide they grease up the outer surface of the top and bottom bearings before pressing them together in place.

interesting. I do know the seal that is filled with grease acts as a dispenser to the bering.

there are various styles of bearing pullers you can buy. I feel your pain! I almost gave up on this one. Visit your local appliance repair store and pick their brains. Have them show you what they use.

im mid process here. got the new shaft in but when i check if it spins it seems like it has sticky spots and does not spin smoothly. Is that going to burn the motor or work itself out over time. Any suggestions or tips?

As far as I know, the only real good seal is from the epoxy glue

How are the replacement parts quality? Appliance online stores and Maytag charge so much more. Thanks for the video, exactly what I needed.
