Seal Nut (seal grease 056016.)

Triple Lip Seal (center seal grease).

19. Clean the outside diameter of the Tub Bearing to insure there is no excess grease on outside diameter. Check the

inside diameter of the outer tub for plastic imperfections. If there are imperfections on the inside diameter of the outer
tub, or the tub bearing appears to have a loose fit in the outer tub, use a small amount of 3M800 (27615P) on the
outside diameter of the Tub Bearing as shown below. Spread a thin layer with index finger around the entire
diameter. New outer tubs will have a tighter fit; use of 3M800 on a tight fitting bearing/tub will cause the bearing to
push back out. Only use the 3M800 if there are imperfections in the outer tub, or the bearing has a loose fit.

Clean O.D.
