Product review (1 stars): Great little kit to fix a loud washer
I purchased this for a 3 year old Bravos XL washer that started to leak oil and make a horrible loud noise when spinning.  I was so mad that an $800 washer only lasted that long but after much online research found that it is a common problem with these washers. So I bought this kit for under $70 (amazon had it the cheapest out of anywhere). I did not buy the accompanying tool to go with it - I went to the local hardware store, bought a 1/2 inch x 6 inch large threaded zinc bolt with accompanying nut and with 4 large washers (two the size of the bearings and two smaller for reinforcement). My home made tool cost $4 - the only problem is that I did not have a fancy arm to go in the sump area and hold it steady so I needed two sets of hands to tighten the nuts.

I am quite handy and have done all sorts of work around the house from plumbing to electrical but I never repaired a washing machine. There were many youtube videos and instructionals online that I watched to make sure I was prepared. The whole project took me about 2.5 hours from start to finish, and this fixed the problem. The washer is now running like new again and is silent. I highly recommend this kit!

Update 4/25/17:
I take back everything I said. The bearings are already leaking after less than a year and I am back to where I started with the loud noise. I have emailed amazon to see if I can try a new one.
