The cushion washer goes between the bracket and the tub and the lock washer goes after the flat washer (not included in the kit) and the nut. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/Maytag-tub-seal.html

Are there any unknown steps that I could have missed. I used step by step instructions from the internet. There is a rust spot next to the hole the tub bearing goes in. I wonder if water is leaking there.
