G'day,
Jeff,

Do you treat the nuts or gaskets with anything? It seems that all
of
us were able to tighten the nuts which would indicate that they had
come lose - after waching it run, you can see the drum goes through
some increadable vibrations with every load.

On some older plumbing I was told to cover the seals with vasoline
- Is
it neccessary to do something like this to the gasket?

Thanks,
Bill G.

Hi,

The gasket needs nothing, but a little lock tight on the bolts doesn't
hurt. Most that we see are a bad bearing so we are changing the back
1/2 of the outer tank anyay = nice clean/tight holes for the bolts.
