Now we go back, in reverse order. First, the shaft extension and carrier plate get reinstalled. I would recommend adding some anti seize to the nuts on the U bolt as well.

Now, to start the journey back from Narnia! First up, you’ll want to inspect the motor shaft for any sort of rust or wear. Mine had some light surface rust, but nothing major. I cleaned it up with some sand paper, and then coated it with anti seize to hopefully ensure that the battle I fought...

Now, to talk clutches. You have several options for a replacement clutch. You can order just the components you need, such as shoes and bearings, or you can do what I did, and get a complete assembly, under part number WH49X265. This includes everything but the pump drive pulley (part number...

And voila! You’re halfway there!

Now, remove the two nuts on the U bolt… And lift the shaft extension and carrier plate up and off. Once again, mine was so well rusted, that a little bit of persuasion from the hammer was necessary to get it off.

Next, Remove the two main clutch shoes, so that the U bolt that holds the carrier plate and shaft extension to the motor can be removed.

Next up, you’ll need to remove your spring. There are some spacers that are installed on this, so you’ll want to be sure that you don’t get them out of order. In my case, though, that didn’t really matter, as I was throwing away the whole clutch.

Now for the inner drum. Like the latter two components, this one just lifts up and away from the shaft extension. This was the first bit that didn’t require the hammer, yay!

We’re getting into it now! Next, the outer drum gets removed. Put some small nails into the holes in the center of the rectangular cutouts to hold the slip shoes in the outer position. Like the pulley, it is supposed to simply lift up and off of the shaft extension. Unfortunately, this had...

Next, you’ll want to remove the pump drive pulley. This is supposed to just slide up and off, but due to a pump leak, this particular one had to be smashed off.

Now that the motor’s out, the real work can begin. Start by driving out the pin that holds the drive pulley to the shaft extension. I used a punch and a hammer for this. This may take some effort to accomplish.

Now, it’s time to remove the motor, shifter, and clutch. Unplug the two wiring harnesses going to the assembly. One will be a two wire connector for the shifter, and the other will be a five pin connector going to the motor. Next, loosen the three 7/16 inch nylon lock nuts that hold the motor...

Well, you gotta start somewhere! After you remove the hex head screws that hold the rear access panel on, you will need to first remove the two clamps that hold the pump coupler on. There tension is held by 1/4 inch hex head screws.

Hey everyone, hope you’re all well. I spent the afternoon finishing up replacing the clutch on my 1989 G.E. Filter Flo. I took lots of pictures throughout the process to document here, with the hope that it helps others. Enjoy, Thatwasherguy.

Wow, that looks amazing! If I didn’t know what an A482 control panel originally looked like, I would believe that the warm rinse button was factory. Thatwasherguy.

My mom used to have that exact stereo! It was at my Granny’s house in Broadhead. I used to listen to Elvis Presley’s Aloha From Hawaii album on 8 track non stop on that thing when I’d go to stay the night with her. Sadly, it got thrown out in 2017 when Granny moved back to Lexington, despite...

I’m still rocking my Aunt’s old Radio Shack Realistic Clarinette 98 that she got new in the late 1970’s. It has a BSR turntable, but the rest says it was made in Taiwan. It’s still got the original speakers, although I think one has a bad driver. Outside of the standard removal and...

Well, at least they left the door open! Thatwasherguy.

That machine was made in December of 2017 according to the serial number. Hope this helps, Thatwasherguy.

Congrats on your new FF! It looks like it’s still in pretty nice shape overall. Based on what I saw in the video, I would expect that it should be a pretty easy fix. I’m betting that the pump is locked up. Going off of feeling the pump coupler on my FF, the amount of force it would take to...
