Before I tear something up, how do I remove the drum from my Maytag
washing machine? The problem is that the belt slips like crazy on the
spin cycle and the drum is very hard to turn. I suspect there may be
something caught between the inner and outer drums but I don't see how
to remove the drum. I got the agitator off and it looks like a special
tool is required to remove the drum.

Thanks,

Hi,

The belt should slip during the spin mode.
Clothing often gets caught just under the tub/tank cover....if the
inner wash basket must be removed, this will get you there....and yes
there is a special spanner wrench tool.
