Product review (5 stars): I should have purchased these a long time ago
I just received this in the mail today. $34 for all 3. What a bargain. I have read several reviews indicating that these were difficult to change out and took quite a while. I turned my washing machine around without even unhooking it. I removed the back panel which is held in place with four Phillips screws. The rear strut/damper is right there in front of you. I  depressed the small tab on the pin and pushed it out and did the same for the bottom. I removed the rear strut which surprisingly did not feel any different than the new one when I pushed it in and out. I installed the new one and then moved to the left side and the right side. Both of these were accessible through the rear panel. Again I did not disconnect anything on the washer but was able to remove and replace all 3 struts in 25 minutes. A couple of things to note. The new struts or dampers come with a plastic bushing inside.  Test fit the plastic pin in the bushing first.  They are a split bushing and by pushing the plastic pin into the bushing first before installing it will spread it apart making it easier for you to install the damper in the machine. The preferred tool to use to install these is a medium-large sized pair of channel locks. Once you start the pin into the hole use the channel locks opened all the way to grab the head of the PIN wit the top jaw and the bottom jaw of the channel locks against the tub support. Close the jow driving the pin through the hole.  This works very quickly and efficiently.  If you try to push the plastic pin through the hole with your hands it is very very stiff. If I had to do this job again a second time I could probably shave 5 or 10 minutes off of the 25 minutes it took me. These are very easy to take out and install. As I mentioned earlier the old ones did not feel any different than the new ones when I would push them in and pull them out. They did not act like they were worn out. These were being replaced in a washing machine we have had for nine years. When I installed the new oned and ran a test load of towels on extra high speed there was a very noticeable difference in the performance of these new dampers over the old ones. I am very pleased with the results and the repair for so little a price. I wish I had done this 2 years ago.
