Hello,
I found water and grease this morning coming from under my washer. It is leaking at the drum boot and seal. I believe that is the parts name. It's above the transmission and below the tub. How do I remove the spanner nut that's inside the tub, I don't have a spanner wrench. I using channel lock pliers at this point. Is the nut right or left handed thread?

The grease is from the transmission. Can I open that and service it? It doesn't look like I can. Thank you very much for your help; I appreciate it.

Mike
