You have a belt in your washing machine? Most of the time time you have a rubber grommet connecting the motor to the transmission, but then again, I normally work on Whirlpool models, so I may be a little "off" on your model.

Remove the front cover of the washer by sliding a screw driver to release the clips.
Loosen the 4 nuts that hold the drive belt motor
Push the motor back to release the drive belt.
Replaced the new drive belt.
Pull motor until drive belt was snug and tighted the 4 bolts.
At the same time, replace the 4 tub dampening straps located at the top of the tub (if too old) so the unit looks like new.
GOOD LUCK!
