Well Ben saw your video, the thing that got me was your rocker test not the spinning. It was making a real racket with that knocking sound. Have you found out the cause? I would wager a loose spin bearing, or a loose tub support where the 6 bolts hold the tub to the cast iron plate just underneath. Jon CLICK HERE TO GO TO jetcone's LINK |

Hey Jon - I actually spent a few minutes working on this last night. It ended up the mechanism support nut was quite loose (aka scarry-loose). The reason? The tang from the housing was NOT in line with the slot on the washer. So with gradual use since Greg and I worked on it, it slowly came loose. Took care of that, cleaned up the mechanism nut assembly, applied the Permatex No. 2 like the repair manual stated, and got it reeeel tight (of course with the tang in the slot on the washer). Battling with the water bellows snap ring - a 4" C-Clamp isn't quite as fun as using the Kent-Moore plier tool. But I'll try to get it completed this weekend. More to come! Ben |
