i have a amana washing machine model (LWA50AW) it is leaking at the bottom center of the outer tub. i've try other web sites to find out how to take the inner tub out with no luck. i got the top of the agitator off and the fabric softener dispenser off. there is no bolt on top of the agitator to take off, just a tapered shaft going down the center of the agitator. --- i need to know how to get the agitator off. and what part i need to fix the leak. on the other web sites i got two anwers. one was a DRIVE BELL AND SEAL KIT. the other was a MOUNTING STEM AND BOOT SEAL. can you tell me the right one i need. and the right way to put it on. thanks for taking the time out to help me out. THANKS A LOT -MARK.

Happy to be of assistance. If I hadn't given you the info someone else would have. I just happened to be the first to see your question.

Let us know what the final outcome is.
