I've pulled a few washers and dryers apart in the past, and they are pretty simple, as long as you take your time and have plenty of room to disect it properly. If all else fails, you could call an appliance repair technician (like the ol' Maytag Man!) because I am certain they will be more helpful than a typical plumber.

I saw the same thing when I googled it myself, Scary. Good thing I didn't pay the 1500 bucks, they were a gift from someone moving out of state.

And it might even work when their done.

I agree, I try not to call any of the big guys when I have problems because of this issue.
Well I ended up taking the thing apart with a service manual I found online and it ended up not being the nails like I thought those all made it out the drain. It was the transmission making a bunch of noise. Funny thing is I put it back together and it has been working perfect and quiet ever since. From now on I will consider it a ticking time bomb and start saving for a new one before it dies on me. Thanks for you guys help.
