I saw a post a while back about replacing the bearing and shaft, is there a youtube video on this repair, can the washer remain in an upright positon to make this repair as i am working in a very tight space, what kind of tools do i need?

There are a lot of videos on youtube on how to replace bearings. I had very little room too. You have to tilt the washer up against the wall at an angle to get at the stuff on the bottom. Was real awkward in this position. Had to lay on the floor to get at everything. You need bearing compress tool that places sale anywhere from $60- $120. Shop around. Ended up doing g this job for around $110. For parts and the tool. It was my first time doing it so it took a little bit of time leaning washer up and down against the wall
