'Tag 101 the hard way...
Replacing the tub seal is a joy. It involves removing the tub cover, the agitator, the tub nut (requires a special but easy to get tool), the inner tub, the mounting stem (a combination of a set screw and the above listed tool) and there's your seal. If your tub bearing is bad, then you have to pull the outer tub to change that assy. It's a job but worth it for the right machine. If you're interested in proceding, let me know and I can send/post instructions right from the book. RCD | ||

Get a new stem and tub seal from here. A local parts place will charge you nearly $80.

Tub Bearing
Might as well install a new tub bearing while it's apart.

I like your approach but I'll bet the dremel didn't work too well on tightening the new parts... Remember that the tub nut AND the mounting stem ARE reverse threaded with the set screw on the stem partially hidden under the cork pad. Not knowing about the reverse threading on those parts is one of the most common mistakes I see when cleaning up a home repair job... RCD | ||

Pg.4 It's always best to use new tub bolts when putting her back together. Remember 1 short for the FRONT support and 2 long for the back two supports. Put a long bolt in the front position and you'll hear this really neat tapping noise as the bolt hits the front panel during spin. Yes, I made that mistake very early on in my career and the ration I got from my training tech was enough to make sure I remembered...

Pg.6 When pressing in the new bearing, it helps to wet the rubber surface with water to help it slide in. (That just sounds different...) Reassembly is the reverse. When you've got it put back together, do two DRY spin cycles to seat the new stem seal before wet testing her. Any questions, let me know. Once you've done the job and ran your first load without a leak, post a picture. RCD
