Hello all,

My Anana washer LWA50AW started leaking (not bad after 9 years) through very bottom seal of wash-tub. To get to it, I removed agitator, bell, seal and got to the grooved shaft with a nut. The way it's assembled contradicts with drawings presented on this site. Particularly, there is external tooth washer on top of the nut, not under it like on the drawing (#8). Any idea how this part is assembled?
The problem is that I cannot undo this nut with a reasonable force. I can apply more force but afraid to break something down the line since I don't know the design. Please advise.
Thanks much in advance, George.

The only thing that will break is the washer which you will have to replace anyway.

The diagram is correct.
