Outer Tub Removal; Reassembling The Mounting Stem - Maytag LAT2300 Service Manual

Note: When replacing the screw,
position wrench as shown in the fol-
lowing photos and tighten screw.
With screw securely tightened, the
end of the screw will be flush or
protrude by 1/6" out of the mounting
stem (see following photos). If the
screw goes in further than flush it is
probably going into the recessed
groove. If this happens, back the
screw out and tighten the mounting
stem some more. Then retighten the
screw. The screw must not be
seated in the groove.
10. Use a Maytag spanner wrench to
remove mounting stem. Like the
clamping nut, this is a left-hand
thread and must be turned
clockwise. A mallet will be required
to loosen the mounting stem.
11. When the mounting stem is lifted off
you have access to the "0" ring and
boot seal.
12. The 110" ring may be removed with a
thin blade screwdriver or ice pick.
13. Remove boot seal by twisting clock-
wise. Do not grasp around carbon
ring.
REASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING STEM
• Center seal grease should be used on
the mounting stem threads. When the
mounti ng stem has been turned on the
center stem and hand-tightened, use
the spanner wrench to seat the
mounting stem. Tap the spanner
wrench several times with a hammer
to seat.
• Before inserting the screw into the
mounting stem, lubricate the hole in
the mounting stem with Maytag
Center Seal grease. Be sure to
tighten the screw securely.
Note: Screw must not be in a water
relief groove.
