Product review (5 stars): fixed my loud washer
This worked very well for me. I did not have to buy the expensive tool. I used a hammer in some places maybe I shouldn't have. To seat the bottom bearing I used a piece of 3/4" thread all, I happened to have a piece for another project. If I hadn't had that, I would have used a smaller piece of thread all with large washers to pull that bearing in. With some people wanting 90 dollars for the tool, finding another way is not too hard for that kind of money. After install the washer is a dream again, very quiet again. Has not been in long now but have no issues so far.
