Removed front and rear covers, replaced drive belt, tub hose and pump. simple operation. Washer still has some leakage not as bad as original leak. Think I have main tub seal problem. Going to check all hose clamps and run again. If the main seal is problem I will be forced to buy new as the parts cost and difficulty of replacement will be the important factors.

Followed the video

tilted washer about 45 degrees off with old on with new belt.TOO easy

After inspecting the brake and installing the new pulley/bearing kit the washer still would only spin slowly. Discovered that if the washer agitates at all in the spin cycle then the transmission is shot. So washer was replaced with a new one.

Watch the videos on it about replacing the snubber ring. Do not remove the whole assembly just loosen enough to get old snubber out and new one in, or you will find it very difficult to get the brake/clutch assembly back together Also I used a 2 x 4 scrap to push and hold the the barrel while removing the six springs. Wear long sleeves as the metal on the washing machine panels will cut you very easily. Belt was just sliding it over the pulley. One other recommendation is take a pictures before and while you are taking it apart for verification of reassembly.

put a total new transmission total kit on.

Opened back panel. With pliers, moved the retainer clamps. Used a flat screwdriver to pry off hose from tank. procceded to remove hose from pump. Put new hose on and replaced hose clamps. Tested with a small wash cycle, no leaks. Job done.

I was struggling for more than an hour trying to put the E clip on with the thicker washer as recommended then gave it up. I tried again with the thinner washer and still can not get the clip fully seated in place (only one end got into the groove). Frustrated, I decided to tap the other end with flat screw driver and hammer. The clip seems to be deformed but rested in the groove. Checked the brake adjustment and it was on the min mark. I did not dare to remove it for adjustment, and there is no thinner washer to adjust anyway. The washer is still working OK now after 3 loads. Other than that I am really happy with the purchase. Supper fast shipping. Very helpful instruction video. Only I am not really a handy man as my wife often encourages!

Turned washer on it's side with the backside facing up. Pump had part of the pulley missing. The belt was replaced as a precaustion. I didn't disconect any of the water lines, just un plugged. Note I was amazed at how quick I received the parts. I expected to wait a week and received parts in 3 days. Execelent service.
