Product review (4 stars): Great item, difficult install
I purchased this item when my washer went out. I bought a new washer, but instead of dumping the broken one I decided to repair it and get a few bucks out of it. This product did the job, and the reason I picked this rubber/plastic one instead of the one with metal sleve was for the simplicity of the install. This one was much easier to put on then a metal one since the plastic sould give a little. However, the overall instal wasn't as easy as I planned. I am very handy, and have done so as a career in the past. To make this easy, you're better off removing the pump and transmission completely then dissmantiling the motor so that the coupler can be put in. If you just remove the motor, itll end up costing you more time later when you realize it won't be as easy. Overall, assuming bolts areant rusty, the average person should be able to get this installed in 45min to an hr.
