Whirlpool Top Loader Bearing Tools

[Hollytree_Technical]

Hi All

I don’t know for certain whether I will need them yet but does anyone know where I can get the proper tools for changing the bearings in these – I only ask because previous experience tells me that these bearings are as soft as sh*t and deform extremely easily.

Alternatively would any one have the tools and be prepared to lend/loan/hire the tools to me if I need them?

One last question is where can I get the spanner for the tub nut from in the uk (Last time I managed to do it using water pump pliers and a hammer but it wasn’t very satisfactory although it did the job just).

Thank you

Jem

Re: Whirlpool Top Loader Bearing Tools

If you have a decent metal worker nearby.take a cardboard template of the nut profile and get one made out of 1/8″ steel with a couple of handles cut out,you can alaways trim to fit with file,probal half the price from whirlpool.My local chap is brilliant and very reasonable.
You could also buy a new nut,for just a few pounds and have a tool made to fit,or make one yourself.
