Product review (4 stars): Solid Replacement Part -- A Little Bit of a Tight Fit
As my title implies, I purchased this part to replace the broken equivalent in my Kenmore washing machine. As other reviewers have noted, the picture is a little misleading due to the fact that the part actually now has a metal ring around the center hole. This is good, as it increases the part's stability and durability. Unfortunately, it made it considerably more difficult to install.

Following the advice of a couple of online installation guides, I tried to soft-tap the part into place using a wood block and hammer. After about 5 minutes of trying, I ended up giving up on the wood block and just using the hammer. And for those of you wondering whether it was the right part or not, the serial matched identically to my model of washer. I guess it's supposed to be that tight now.

Anyhow, with some degree of difficulty, I was able to get it installed on both ends of the motor. And I'm happy to report that my washer is back to it's good old spin-y/agitate-y self!

And for the record, I strongly suggest you follow your manufacturer's directions when you install this. I took the condition of my washer into my own hands when I decided to strike this part directly with the hammer (instead of using the wood block to soften the blows). I DO NOT suggest you do the same. I was simply frustrated and tired at the time and while my situation worked out for the better, you could damage your washer and/or yourself (from bounce-backs) if you follow in my foot steps!
