Knowing and showing how to get off the agitator and agitator auger is a good idea. Especially if its stubborn. We're curretly waiting on the stator. Good video though . Good job.

This is a great informative video that is really well edited and put together. How old was your washer before the bearings went bad?

[@OnTheWorkbench]

It was just over 8 years old when the original bearing went bad.

My maytag bravos xl is making a grindin noise at the spin cycle... but i see no swirly grease crap on the floor underneath it. Does dat mean its not the bearings?

After install the shaft is a bit stiff and when I put bottom cap back on its even worse. Never simple lol
