Re: maytag /admiral washing machine

is it as simple as releasing the tub from the springs and then the whole unit comes out like the speed queen

Re: maytag /admiral washing machine

You need the tool which holds off the 200lb brake spring, then its fairly easy. Sometimes you find one of the tub springs have broken

thats it lawrence. done lots of these, never used the tool. just be careful loosening the screws, you’ll be fine.

Re: maytag /admiral washing machine

As alf said, you can do it loosening the screws. Crucial thing is if the pulley is still attached the brake spring cant go anywhere its only a problem when you take of the thrust bearing and pulley off. Then if you remove the brake spring housing the spring will go and you wont get it back without the brake spring removal tool.
