Basket Pulley, Bearing Housing, Water Seals
and Tub Back
The cast iron basket pulley is retained by a bolt, locking washer and a flat washer.
Removal
Step 1: Insert a large screw driver or punch through a spoke in the pulley
into the bearing housing support. This keeps the pulley from
turning.
Step 2: Remove the retaining bolt, lockwasher and flat washer and
reinstall just the bolt.
Step 3: Use a puller to remove the pulley from the shaft. Watch for
tolerance ring.
Reassembly
Step 1: Make sure that the tolerance ring is in place inside the pulley.
Step 2: The shoulder inside the pulley that holds the tolerance ring should face the back of the washer
when installed correctly.
Step 3: Use a stack of flat washers and a longer bolt to press the pulley onto the basket shaft.
Step 4: Reinstall the retaining bolt, lock washer and flat washer. The shaft end bolt with washer should be
installed with a torque value listed in charts in this manual.
Removal of Bearing Housing From Basket Shaft, Bearings and Water Seals
Step 1: To remove the tub back assembly, the 6 bolts attaching it to the
bearing housing must be removed.
Step 2: Remove water seals from the seal mounting plate on the cylinder
shaft. These are removed with your fingers.
Step 3: The retaining ring next to the front bearing must also be
removed.
Step 4: The bearings are pressed into the housing and must be pressed
back out.
Reinstallation onto Basket Shaft
Step 1: Carefully set the assembly over the shaft engaging the bearings and bearing spacer.
Step 2: The tolerance ring that fits inside the pulley should be placed in position (see Basket Pulley
Reassembly for correct positioning).
Step 3: The pulley should then be started onto the shaft. A stack of flat washers and a longer pulley bolt
will be required to pull the basket shaft through the bearings and pulley.
Step 4: Install the shaft end bolt with washers and torque to specifications in Bolt Torque Chart.
Step 5: See Tub Back, Bearing and Cylinder Assembly for installation of complete assembly back into
washer.

Reassembly
Step 1: When installing new bearings into a bearing housing, first press
the front (large) bearing into the housing until it bottoms. With the
bearing spacer in place, press the rear bearing in until the spacer is
snug between the two bearings. Be sure and reinstall the retaining
ring in front of the front bearing (see picture).
Step 2: The tub back assembly should be reattached to the bearing housing
with the 6 mounting bolts and torqued according to the torque chart.
Note: The bead of silicone that seals each bolt to the tub
back. This must be cleaned and replaced upon reassembly
(see picture).
If the 6 support assemblies have been removed from the bearing
housing, the 6 rear bearing housing bolts should be torqued
according to the chart also.
Step 3: The primary and secondary seals that mount on the sealing ring may
be slid over the shaft and seated on the metal sealing ring. In the
unlikely event that the metal ring that mounts these sealing rings
were to be damaged or moved, a new one would need to be pressed
on.The ring must be pushed against the stop on the shaft. Before
installing the new sealing ring, a bead of silicone should be put on
the basket shaft (see picture). After installing the seals, lubricate the
faces of the seals with silicone grease (see picture).
Drive Motor Removal
Step 1: Remove the drive belt as explained in previous instructions.
Note: The T-400 and T-600 have two drive belts that should be replaced in pairs.
Step 2: Remove the tension spring and bracket.
Step 3: Disconnect the motor wires at the variable frequency drive unit. The motor wire retaining clamp
should be removed and reused. It is good to notate the location of the T1, T2, and T3. (It is
nornmal in most cases that the T1 and T2 wires are swapped at the variable frequency drive.
Step 4: Loosen the set screws on the motor support shaft.
Step 5: Remove the retaining bolt from the front of the support shaft.
Step 6: Remove the motor support shaft.
Step 7: Lift motor out of machine. Note: On larger washers it is advisable to put a board under the motor
and slide it out rather than lifting it.
