There is a steel sleeve inset into the plastic, probably cast in place. The bearings are mounted into the steel sleeve.

It's the outer drum that the stainless steel inner drum spins inside.

Here's a video of it being disassembled. The title is misleading because the bearing is only sold with the drum, for $250. fuckers. I found a guy who sells the bearings and seals for $20. Frigidaire won't simple parts like the bearings or the spider alone. You have to get them attached to a very expensive drum. The cost of the part and paying a repairman is more than a new washer. Coincidence?

I doubt Autozone will have a tool to fit my washing machine. I'll caliper the bearing tomorrow and try to find a piece of pipe.
