Product review (5 stars): Made my washer like new again!
My washing machine was making an awful whirring and grinding noise, sounded like a jet engine taking off!  With this kit and it's easy to follow instructions I was able to pop out the old shaft and bearings and replace them with new ones.  Runs like new!  You don't need to know a whole lot about washing machines to do the work, but I'd highly recommend that whoever does the job is handy with basic tools.  This project did take me a good 6 hours, mostly because some of the nuts were really quite stuck, and there was grease EVERYWHERE.  If a bearing is the problem, it may be a little messy!  But this kit really did have all the necessary parts.  All you need are some wrenches, screw drivers, a putty knife and maybe a vice grip.  The instructions walk you through the whole process, and it's truly not as complicated as you might think.  Especially if you take your time to make sure you do everything right.  If you think you can do it, you can.  If you have no idea where to start, this might not be the job for you.
