Lots of noise on the spin cycle. Any help on how to remove and replace. Model MAH4000AWW Maytag does not sell this bearing separate. It comes as a part of the rear outer tub and price for this part went up to $535 + shipping for an over sized item. It makes such repair worthless. On the other side, if you are handy enough, you can replace just the bearing. You can find some useful information in one of our previous threads: http://forum.appliancepartspros...ng-neptune-bearings.html Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for MAYTAG MAH4000AWW Washer - Horizontal Axis | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

There is one important item that nobody talks about, that is, properly seating the drum. So I put up a web page on it at neptune bearings hope this helps somebody because if those bearings are not seated water gets in and all is in vain.
