Ours is maybe 9 years old and is getting noisy too. Where did you
find the bearings and seal? What are the part numbers? -- just in
case ours are the same.

I was able to find online the service manual for my machine, it helped
with tearing down the machine. The job was a very involved, several
hour affair. For replacing the bearings (instead of the whole rear
tub half), the best resource was this long thread:

As for the parts for this class of machine, they are a 6306RS2
bearing, a 6307RS2 bearing, and a 40x80x10 double lip metric seal. I
ended up getting mine from bearingsdirect.com (no affiliation).
You'll also need a replacement tub seal since you have to split the
wash tub halves. Plus the materials I asked about in my OP.

I got the bearings today and the rear tub half is now reassembled. It
spins quietly, yay! Now I'm just waiting for the tub seal and bottom
supports (shocks), then I can reassemble the machine and see if it
still works. :-)
