Tub --- I left the center plate (part # K1061) attached to the tub when I removed mine. Was there a specific need to remove yours? Are you replacing the gasket (part # 12240) for the center plate to tub? According to the parts manual, only 2 of those lead washers are used...perhaps they act as spacers.
Power Unit Grease --- I topped mine up with SAE 85-140 gear oil, although I believe the authentic Maytag grease was significantly thicker. There is a listing on ebay for an original, unopened can of the stuff...see the link.
Rejuvenating the Wringer Rolls --- I, indeed, have used the sandpaper method on both my Maytag and Kenmore rolls. It worked very well, taking off the outer hardened, oxidized layer. (note - only did this on the "hard" lower roll on the Maytag, not the softer, upper black roll.)
Rubber Dampener for Motor --- have you considered using Permatex Gasket Maker to attach the rubber to the metal motor bracket? As I mentioned before, I used that to entirely make the new gasket.
Hope this is of some help to you, Jeff.
