Speed Queen 766P3A Hub and Seal Kit by Speed Queen

We opted for a manual, top-load Speed Queen washer many years ago. Having run 10-15 loads per week since, it finally caught up to the bearings. It's about a 4-4.5 hour job, at a medium difficulty level. Oh, getting the specialty tool for the large inner drum nut I found is necessary. Plan ahead and have that on hand. Also a 3-arm bearing puller using the loan-a-tool program from Autozone to pull off the hub. There are some great videos online to walk you through this repair. Be very careful setting the very heavy, loaded (with motor and transmission) drum back into the chassis. I accidentally dropped mine a few inches and broke the friction ring the whole thing sets on. :-\

This kit will get the job done, as long as you don't need a new main nut. Figured with all the things that came with it, there would be a nut. It doesn't advertise that there is, so that's on me. Also, the top and bottom seal came stuck together and it was difficult to get them apart, but once I did it worked fine.

I'm assuming this kit is for people "in the business" so the instructions don't specify how to remove the agitator or drive bell (both are just press-fit [use shim bags to make the job easier]). Used everything in the kit; happy to have an appliance tech for a brother. Also bought: - GENUINE Alliance Laundry Systems 28944RP Rspc Bearing. - 3M Polyurethane Sealant 560 for the between-drum bearing. (Instructions specify 560) Borrowed: - Washing machine hub nut wrench.

Product was exactly what I needed for the repair. Good price and received it in a timely manner.

Didn't realize when I started putting the SQ washer back together that there was no Loctite in the box. Loctite is not easy to find locally. So now I have washer partially put together, but can't finish...grrr! Waiting on response, but either way I'll have to wait to get Loctite 680 in.
