Ok, just put together this web page. The bearing number you need is a 6205-2RS-1 It must be the "-1" type which is a "special" size, not the 6205-2RS which won't fit. The "-1" type has a 25.4mm inner bore diameter (exactly 1 inch) while the other one has a 25mm bore (too small). Don't get any oil or grease on the hubs or spring or else the spring won't grip and it won't spin. You do need to put a little grease in the ramps where the 6 activation balls go. Good luck.

Are there any special tools or techniques you would use to get the pieces off?

Because of the four crimps that hold it in place, you need a large drift pin or similar and heavy hammer to knock it out.

I have the old bearing out! That's gotta be my problem. It's all rusted and rough. So if I can get the old bearing out with the drift pin, can I not do the same with the new bearing to get it in without a great deal of filing? And is the crimping part absolutely necessary? If so, what tool would you use to do that?

Thank you, Eric. Yesterday ended a 6 week struggle with my washer, thanks to you, and the cost was minimal. The machine runs and sounds as if I just had it delivered from the store. Your procedure and instructions worked like a charm. Thank you so much for your expertise!
