Maytag Neptune Bearing Tony Tool Update

Maytag neptune bearing information - The Maytag Neptune Bearing Tony Tool has been improved! Could this be a dumb bell?

I believe it could be! But more importantly... The original PVC knockout plug has been upgraded to solid steel! The biggest issue with the Tony Tool has been the PVC Knockout plug because it would crack near the top lip and folks who rented the tool kit at www.neptunebearing.com would call or email me apologizing and offering to buy a new one. I would just explain to them that it was not an issue and don't worry about it.

I just figured that you Neptune owners were taking your frustrations out on the knock out plug like a stress relieving squeeze toy. But no, Tony mentioned that his personal PVC knock out plug was cracked too and that it still worked great for getting the front bearing out. 

There is a danger when using the steel knockout and that is if it falls down it can damage components on the floor of your Neptune washer because it is so heavy... so I decided to keep the much lighter PVC knockout plugs with the tool kits.

Until next time...
