I followed Gary from Sioux City IA instructions. Very well explained.

Went to website, looked up make and model, looked at photo's discription, studied it, and then went in and removed front panel, turned off water, removed clamps holding hoses too dishcharge pump, mopped up water, and then just reinstalled new piece, the way the old came out, re attached belt to pulley assembly, turned water back on, and did a test for leakage and wala washer back in working order in less than an hour, and saved hundreds of dollars with out maytag repair man.

Unscrewed the front panel. Then took pump out & put new one in. . . . . Thank you part select. Com. . . Super fast shipping. . .

Remove the metal plate in back of the washer that 3 screws. I use a vise-grips to remove the two clamps.One on other the tub side and the other the pump side. Pull the old hose off the tub side and the pump side.Use the old clamps to put the new hose on.

Removed front of washer following instructions on partselect.com (used putty knife to release catches). Removed hoses and belt from pump, then removed and replaced the pump. Reattaching the belt was the only awkward task.

I tilted the machine on it's back to remove the drive belt. You could feel the friction in the pump when you turned the pulley. I set the machine back down and removed the back cover (4 screws). I removed the two hoses with a pair of pliers. I used a small socket set to remove the three mounting screws. I ordered the pump. I reversed the process to put it back together. It took about 35 minutes to determine what the problem was and to remove the pump. It took about 20 minutes to put it back together.

Problem encountered was that the replacement tub had a defective air bell. The washer consequently did not detect fill level and subsequently overflowed flooding the laundry room. The bell looked ok visually. Blowing into the air tube while plugging the inside hole with a finger revealed a pinhole leak in one corner of the PP weld. PartSelect was prompt with replacement, but the job had to be redone in its entirety.

Always test the air bell before installing an outer tub.

I had to raise the top of the washer and take off the front pannel. It was not too hard to replace the pump except that it was in the back corner and it was hard to reach the bolts to remove and install the new pump.

The Clamps for the hoses were difficult to get to, otherwise was a simple replacement job, involving clamps and screws and bolts.

I placed the washer on a couple of work-horses so I could have access to the belt underneath. Then I used my nutdriver to removed the lower back panel. Disconnected both of the hoses, and removed the pump with my nutdrivers. Placed the new pump in place, placed the belt back on the pump's pully, tightened down the pump. I then plugged in the washer and put a little water in the washer to test that everything was working. After confirming that everything worked, I replaced the lower back panel and put the washer back in business. 30 minutes from beginning to end ... and a good time was had by all.

took drum out replase snubber put drum back in

I diagnosed the bearing by putting a 3/4 inch rubber hose up to my ear. I pointed it around until isolating the noise to the pump. The bearing was not servicable without replacing the pump. After diagnosing the problem I ordered the part. Getting the part from PartSelect.com was a snap. It arrived in one day. In 15 minutes I had it back to gether and working quiet and smooth.
