Thanks for the help. I made a big mistake that may have ended this washers life. I really would have liked to have kept it going considering that it has given 30+ years of weekly use. I painted the centerpost with Por15 rust preventative. Got it all ready to go only then ti find it leaking...

the belt drive whirlpool washer calls for Rykon grease. Where can I get this? This is a waterproof grease.

Just wanted to verify that I can install the upper and lower seals on the centerpost without a tool, removal of the bearings and removal of the centerpost...

I have some por15 ordered and on the way! This is a great site. Can the inside seal in the centerpost be replaced without removing the centerpost? This is part number 28 in the link below. http://c.searspartsdirect.com/lis_png/PLDM/00039616-00002.png

Thank you for the quick reply. I just found out it is called as a grommet is the stopper. What is the purpose of the stopper? Here is a stock photo of one. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-stopper-21265-ap3040774.html...

I have a 1984 Kenmore 80 belt drive washer. I was able to remove the spanner nut. As I push up on the basket to remove it the basket is getting hung on some thing. I'm able to move it up several inches. I wonder if it is hanging on part number 60 in the photo below? There are two grommets...
