Product review (2 stars): My response to LG and pricing of their tool
First I would like to say that I have not bought this tool. I had to take the front cover off my LG front load and apparently this is the only tool available to put the wire ring back on. Apparently, LG does not understand American Ingenuity ? Ladies and Gentleman, I bring you the "Hoyt-Clangwell" spring expander. I used a simple ring installer tips, Size #10-24 x 3" bolts, Matching nuts, And a pack of coupling nuts (#10-24x3/4). I think I spent about 5 bucks. Although it will take longer to do (not a lot actually) it should do the trick.
