I work in the engineering field and consider myself as having at least some mechanical aptitude.
The included instructions contained references to the disassembly of the reservoirs. This did not apply to my washer.
I was able to find a youtube video which was not si ... Read more gnificantly helpful.
Be prepared to keep track of parts removed and hardware.
Disassembly requires disassembly and removal of washer door.
Further disassembly was required to adequately access the part to be replaced. This includes removal of two large weights which improved access.
I removed the damaged bellows. The two spring-loaded clamps are way easier to remove than to install.
I gently set the new part in place to ensure I had the right part which seems to be easily damaged.
Securing the inner spring-loaded clamp was difficult as the new bellows needs to be installed in a specific orientation (it needs to be "keyed") and is quite floppy and pops out of position easily.
I'd recommend an additional pair of hands or two. Careful usage of multiple "C" clamps may be helpful, as well.
Use caution as to not pinch fingers or trap tools.
The spring of the spring-loaded clamp is quite strong. I used two pairs of locking pliers to grab the eyelets at each end of the spring.
The more you can extend the spring for 10+ seconds - without breaking it - the better.
It will likely take multiple attempts to apply the spring-loaded clamp when the bellows is in the correct position.
Make extra sure the bellows is fully seated, in the correct alignment and that the inner spring-loaded clamp is in the correct position.
Partially reassemble the washer to the point where the large front plate is installed.
Reassembly and attachment of the door is optional at this point It is it's own bundle of joy to reassemble and adjust. I saved it for last.
Securing the outer spring-loaded clamp was difficult as the achieving proper seal seating while installing the outer spring-loaded clamp was difficult. It is at least as difficult as installing the innerspring-loaded clamp as it seemed to be more likely that the seals of the bellows would pop out of place while working with it.
Again, make extra sure the bellows is fully seated, in the correct alignment and that the outer spring-loaded clamp is in the correct position.
After assembly and attachment of the door it was misaligned (the latching bar of the door collided with the latching mechanism in the large front plate). It required further disassembly and reassembly of the door to achieve proper alignment.
I ran a load of wash and no leaking.
