Product review (4 stars): General Electric WH2X1193 Hub Nut
I replaced this hub nut on our older top loading GE washer at the same time I was replacing the transmission and tub mounting drum. The nut is fairly large at 1-11/16" and is also a left hand thread. It came off relatively easy though using a large 32-ounce ball peen hammer and the SUPCO TB123A spanner wrench, which I also purchased here on Amazon. This nut appears to be made of aluminum and is fairly soft so if for some reason you can't remove it with the spanner wrench, it can easily be split and removed using a cold chisel instead.
