Product review (5 stars): Spin Bearing for old White-Westinghouse washer
After removing the entire tub, the hardest part is getting the old bearing out of the bottom of the tub. There are only 2 screws holding it in place but more than likely it will be stuck by years of dirt and water building up residue. I had to take a very large (about 1 1/8") socket and hammer it out. After cleaning the inside of the race with steel wool and 180 grit sand paper. A light coat of white grease or such and the new one will push back into place. If you have to hammer it, use a wood block or something similar and carefully push it back into place, replacing the 2 screws. Now the washer runs quietly again and spins faster than before. If you are going to tackle this job, order the tub seal kit and related plastic washer too. You don't want to have to do this job twice!
