Product review (5 stars): This kit works!
Let me start by saying, my washer is now smoother and quieter during the spin cycle than it EVER has been.  It's better than new, I am amazed and so happy that I did it myself!  Talk about a cheap repair!  If you feel even the least bit mechanically inclined and want to feel good about yourself, I highly suggest giving this repair a try!

DIY Installation - I'm not Mr. Fixit, but I am able to change the brake pads on my car, so I figured I could follow directions well enough.  I was hoping that I would just have to remove the front panel, unhook the springs, clean things up a little bit and then stick these pads on without any problem.  That may be possible with a LOT of patience, but I didn't have any on this day.  I ended up taking the washer COMPLETELY apart, which made cleaning and replacing the pads a BREEZE.  To be honest, taking the washer apart really wasn't THAT big of a deal as long as you pay attention to where things go.

Two tips for you:
1. Something that is mentioned in the installation instructions, but not in the item description is that you will need some heavy duty glue to stick these pads onto the metal surface.

2. Regarding the springs.  After you get the top panel off, simply tip (use a little muscle) the wash tub thing toward the spring you want to remove (more than likely the front one first).  This will compress the spring and allow you to simply slip the hooked end of the spring out of its bracket (you'll see what I'm talking about when you get there).

Good luck and give it a try, it's too cheap not to!
