Fit of shafts into metal bushings was very tight. Had to use a rubber mallet to gently encourage the connections so the assembly would go back together. It will probably be a real beast to get the connectors off if I have to replace again. Package was sealed with genuine OEM markings. Washer works again. Please note that the rubber bushing was slightly larger in diameter than the original. As such, there was some rubbing for the first 5-10 minutes that produced a strong smell of burning rubber. After the first wash cycle the smell was gone and things appear to be back to normal. Make sure you initially run the washer outside or with plenty of ventilation or your home will stink!
