You can also purchase the bearing and seal kit from [url=http://www.neptunebearing.com]NEPTUNE BEARING[/url]. You also get an ebook that has tips for removing the failed bearings and inserting the new ones. You can expect this job to take 2 - 6 hours depending on your tools and machanical ability. There is an easier way... the site mentioned above offers a special tool kit rental that includes the bearings and 12002022 seal kit and it also includes a 14 minutes DVD that shows you how to disassemble the stand alone front loader, replace bearings and install the seal kit. Some folks have stated the DVD is the best tool in the box...

Keep in mind that if you have an earlier MAH3000, you have (3) of those darlings you should proactively replace.
