    • To work on this replacement, you will need to gain access to the bottom. It is best to place the washer on its front. Place a few old blankets etc. so as not to scratch the front to much. Since I did a total rebuild on this washer, I had also removed the control panel. It was easier for me to place the washer upside down :-)

    • Not shown here is that you need to unplug the washer as well as disconnect the water supply hoses prior to working on it!

    • First the pulley cover has to be removed. It is attached via two 5/16 bolts

    • Use an electric screwdriver with a short extension and a 5/16 socket to remove the right screw,
