Inner tub retainer nut is too tight or rusted to remove with standard tools; TB123A delivers the precise spanner fit and leverage needed to break it free safely.
Washer tub cannot be pulled for service — bearing, seal, or transmission replacement requires removing the 1-11/16" spanner nut first.
Drive block or basket hub kit (e.g. W10324651) replacement requires full tub disassembly, which starts with unlocking the spanner nut using this wrench.
Accessing the gearcase on direct-drive Whirlpool, Maytag, or Kenmore top-loaders requires removal of the tub via the spanner nut — this wrench is the correct tool for that job.
Removing the agitator or wash plate on Cabrio-style HE top-loaders to service the spin bearing or clutch assembly requires the TB123A to loosen the central spanner nut beneath the wash plate.




💡 Pro Tip: When Do You Need the TB123A Spanner Wrench?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ You need to remove or replace the washer's inner tub but can't loosen the center retainer nut
⚠️ You're replacing the drive block / basket hub kit (e.g. W10324651) and the tub nut is seized
⚠️ You're servicing the transmission, gearcase, or agitator on a direct-drive top-load washer
⚠️ A standard pipe wrench or pliers keep slipping off the tub lock nut, risking damage to surrounding parts
🔎 Technician's Tip: The tub spanner nut has standard right-hand threads — turn counter-clockwise to loosen. If the nut is seized, position the TB123A wrench securely and strike the end firmly with a rubber mallet to break it free. Always disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair.
