The lower bearing assembly provides lateral
support for the drive tube and shaft against
the tension of the drive belt. The top of the

The lower bearing assembly consists of a ball
type bearing which has been installed in an
aluminum die-cast housing. The transmission
assembly must be removed from the washer
cabinet before the lower bearing assembly
can be replaced.
