Maytag MAH5500BWW tub bearing issue

Washer Repair
,
1

My washer has a bearing that is screaming. I took off the belt and the drive motor is fine, but as soon as I put on the belt and ran it through a spin cycle, it screams. The bearing appears to be either under or behind the spinner pulley. I have been told that the PN of the bearing is AP4027027 and that it is not pressed on. It appears to slide over the shaft on the drum support. Would this be the right part and is it easy to change?

Thanks! Al

Hi.

The rear bearing comes as an assembly with the outer tub.

That is a quite expansive part and this is several hours job.
