Keep at it!
If there is one thing I learned from restoring old cars, it's that parts won't be available forever, and neither will the knowledge of how to repair things. Sometimes your only choice is to fix what you have, and you can't count on replacement parts or assemblies to get you through, so you can't be destructive in the disassembly. And just like what you're saying here- the special tools, a repair guide, or set of instructions written when an item was produced isn't necessarily the correct process to follow anymore after 40+ years. (For example, just look at the pictures of broken agitators from using the factory pullers, and the "new" tools and processes people now use to remove them safely.) Someday, there will be a time, when someone else is struggling the same way. And there's a good chance they will find this thread in a Google search, and gain a huge benefit from the insight here. So pressing on, and documenting what works and what doesn't, is a great benefit to the community! | ||

Recentering the Inner Wash Basket You can raise the washer top and take off the tub cover and watch the basket as it starts to spin and see if it is off-center. If so just remove the agitator and loosen the tub mounting ring and try re-centering the basket and re-tightening until the basket spins as centered as possible.
Sometimes the basket will rub on the outer tub near the top of the outer tub or the tub cover because the tub cover is out of round, this can happen as you tighten the clamping band around the tub cover. When you reassemble this clamping band have everything clean wet and soapy and tighten both screws as evenly as possible.
