When one of my machines spins, it sounds like a freight train and I'm told that's probably due to the bearings. My local Maytag guy thinks it's "too old," but I absolutely refuse to get rid of it no matter what happens. How complicated would it be to do myself or have someone handy who I know do it?

Before you dive in, post a video if the noise. It could be the radial bearing or something else.
