The Virtual Repairman's Appliance Help

For those massive tub springs found on many Maytag top-loaders, a simple way to remove them is by taking an ordinary metal switchbox and inserting it between the stretched coils. I do this by flexing the washer tub way over to the front of the machine, removing the right rear spring first. With the box inserted in the coils, the tub can be pushed back toward the spring to unhook it. Leave the box on the spring and use another box to remove the left rear spring. The front spring will remove by hand once the other two are off. Sure makes life easier on a tough job, and saves money from buying expensive spring tools!
