Product review (1 stars): Probably would work better than the metal reinforced part.
seller sent me the "compatible" replacement.  The compatible replacement is the one with the metal sleeve and is too tight to install without a little hammering.  After slight hammering to fit into place the plastic cracks.  I had to use part of the old and part of the new to repair my washer and the seller would not take the return because it has been used... Well if you sent me the pictured part instead of the "compatible" replacement that you did than it would have worked out!
