Product review (5 stars): Anyway got it on by myself after some sweat and many not so nice words Didn't buy the tool What a rip off ...
Work on my lg 2101h machine
Was getting a te code which is a faulty thermistor
But the washer would stop and have water in it and leaking out
After further inspection I found the seal had a crack in it that would allow water to get on the wiring and cause the te code
So I used gorilla duck tape at first and then a bike tube patch to try and seal the crack just to make sure that was the problem
Seemed to be
Got a replacement
Fast shipping although little notice through third party and they charged me state tax in ms?
Anyway got it on by myself after some sweat and many not so nice words
Didn't buy the tool
What a rip off - $70 for what should be a $25 tool
I used vice grips and a screwdriver as shown in a how to video on .appliancepartspros

I'd suggest putting the ring on with the spring unhooked from one side and then pull the spring over to the open end as shown in the video
Strange I had more trouble with the outter seal
Vs the inner
I had no trouble getting the old one back on when patching it but the new seal took a little more time and trouble
Finally used a wood paint stir stick to get the ring clamp back in place
Glad I took one last look before I ordered a new washer
