How much did it cost for the bearings? I just found out the same happened to my F&P top loader. Also... did the kit include that brass retainer ring with the five screw holes in it? When I took off the silver cover I found the center of this piece was sheared off the little tension arms that get screwed into the drum... lots of black graphite or grindings under the cover too.
I haven't tried taking out the bushing/bearing yet.
Also... where' did you order the parts? How long to get them?

I read this thread with interest, because I also have been having the squeaking problem.
So I tried to take the bearing cover off. I turned the bolt for an hour (with 5/32 hex wrench) and it just wouldn't come off ... I must be doing something very wrong. In the end I put a hex drill bit on my drill and tried to loosen it. The cover then spun round and round repeatedly but the cover would not come off. In the end I gave up, and retightened the bolt.
'Course, now the squeaking is gone, but the dryer now rasps.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I've read this thread and have narrowed my noise to the bearing. I removed the old one to confirm the brass bushing is worn. The shaft (bolt) that the bushing goes on is also worn. There is a new one in the kit but how do I remove the old one? Do I need to remove the drum? It is not readily accessible by removing the side panel since there is another panel that is riveted on, covering outside access to the drum. I tried a socket wrench to no avail. Is a wrench from the interior of the unit the right way to go and I just need to break the seal?
Thank you
