my motor carriage had rusted pretty bad so I tried to clean it up a bit...used a product called LA's Totally AWESOME Rust, Lime & Calcium Cleaner and Brillo...(so much stronger than I knew)...it stripped away the golden brass color of the carriage...replaced and added (3) motor springs for that...

...reinstalled the outer tub top cover...just determine how much clearance space you'll have between the underside of the top cabinet cover opening and outer tub cover (3/16" to 1/4")...adjust it manually to your perfection then tighten the clamps ...reattach the water level air dome...clean...

Lghh, thanks RCD, the victory is ours because you helped me every step of the way...thank you for your persistence...I am capable because of you...I can't wait to be able to build my dream machine washer

...to tighten the set screw you need to use Torx T20 screw drive, hand socket wrench with a T20 bit or 1/8" allen key wrench place the washtub back into position...centering the tub takes a little time, you need to have patience...the best I accomplished was to set 1/4" of clearance space...

next, I installed the new mounting stem...tighten it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE using the spanner nut wrench tool...not too tight ...when tighten the set screw make sure the head is sticking out at least 1/16" which will indicate it's resting against the transmission agitator drive shaft ridge surface...

Thanks John L. and Ben, I actually followed that bit of information from a Maytag washer Appliance Repair Guy video on YouTube. (Should I remove the grease???) And, John L. please let me know if you come across a possible replacement...I'm looking

We're almost there now, it's time to install the new mounting stem and boot seal kit ...I applied some white lithium grease on the bottom edge of the boot seal to help it slide on more easy...hold it along the sides of the seal and turn it from left to right (OSCILLATE) and push down gently...

Forgot to mention, as per RCD, to add a tablespoon of MAYTAG Transmission oil to the brake assembly...quieter operation Now it's time install the outer tub...once over again to make sure the opening is sanded smooth and clean ...I used WLG to grease the rubber area of the tub bearing...

So I removed the centering springs, placed the transmission in position to reattach the brake assembly and new radial ball bearing...but, first I greased up the transmission shaft post and tub bearing sleeve with WHITE LITHIUM GREASE for easier accommodation ...place the new bearing into the...

I made a mistake and reconnected the damper leg frame and centering springs before I setup the outer tub...the springs were pulling on the legs which cause a wider spaced gap between the outer tub bolt and leg frame openings (holes)...they weren't aligned when I tried to reinstall the bolts

I could imagine eurekastar, I had some tight squeeze moments also...what drove me bonkers was the disconnecting and reinstalling the air dome tube...the clamp...I'd replace it with a screw clamp, easier to handle in such a closed in area Thanks and no problem John L., fortunately, they are in...
