Super helpful video! Thanks so much for posting!

[@LakeErieBirds]

EXACTLY the how-to I needed for my MCT washer! Thank you!

[@tedthornton7791]

Knowing and showing how to get off the agitator and agitator auger is a good idea. Especially if its stubborn. We're curretly waiting on the stator. Good video though . Good job.

My maytag bravos xl is making a grindin noise at the spin cycle... but i see no swirly grease crap on the floor underneath it. Does dat mean its not the bearings?

[@jeremywilliams0021]

We're having the same problem, actually it could still be the bears. In this video's case, the bearings AND the seal went bad, which is why there is all the mess. Once the bearings go bad, it can put more wear onto the seal and cause it to go bad soon as well.

This is a great informative video that is really well edited and put together. How old was your washer before the bearings went bad?

[@OnTheWorkbench]

It was just over 8 years old when the original bearing went bad.

How did you remove the basket drum

[@OnTheWorkbench]

A 2x4 and a car scissor jack. See the video linked in the description.

After install the shaft is a bit stiff and when I put bottom cap back on its even worse. Never simple lol

[@biloxi63]

How about talking less and show us how you took it apart.

Dude spent 5 min talking about tools and cleaning supplies, yeah doesn't show how to remove the top, the agitator and the basket/tub. Skipped the how to part of a how to video 😂
