I replaced the tub seal in a top load neptune FAV6800AWQ, and am now re-assembling it. the spinner will not go into the tub seal far enough. is there a trick to seating the tub seal in the spinner shaft?

- rich, i tried everything i could think of to remove the spinner support without the tool, nothing worked. cant hold the nut in place without using the spinner tool. i purchased the tool, paid about $60 for it. i will probably never use it again, but that was my only option. shane
I‘ll be watching your progress real close with the Tub Seal replacement.I’m going to run this machine into the ground and I’m sure I will develop a Tub Seal leak down the road.I have nothing to offer other then the mention in the SM on page 49 about making sure “”When installing a new seal, make sure the sleeve from the previous seal has been removed and discarded.””.Did you purchase or borrow this tool to remove the spinner nut Spinner Tool $25, or is there another way to remove the Spinner Nut?Good luck.

- Hey Shane, Good deal glad it worked out for ya.Any tips you can share regarding removing the Spinner Support Nut without having to buy the special removal tool regarding my question from earlier in the post,“”Did you purchase or borrow this tool to remove the spinner nut Spinner Tool $25, or is there another way to remove the Spinner Nut?”” I thought about using an old, what I call “Spinner Support Coupler” from an old clutch assembly and a pipe wrench to engage the agitator shaft, but I believe the problem will be to lock down the recessed Spinner Nut.Any insight as you can share would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.Rich

- Shane,
Thank you for the feedback. Yea I hear ya about one use. I have a spare tub seal and if I start to leak I will be in the same boat and have to purchase the wonder tool.
Take care.... Rich
