Today my buddy Larry brought a Crosley washer down here to the swamp. The cust complaint was a leak. Well I added a little bit of water to the machine while I had it on the fabulous 550 pound AJ appliance rack and I looked fer leaks. Could not find any so I moved her to the awesome test stand. I connected water and power and let her fill all propah. About midways up that thar leak was discovered.

She runs beautimous and no leaks. Forgot to take anymore pictures dang it. I forgot to show install of the upper seal and basket. I simply tightened that with a small monkey wrench. Then installed the basket and agitator.
Note to self: Buy the stupid spring compression tool you getting too old to manhandle stuff.

JW,

If you would like I would be happy to send you one for free.

JWWebster · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2011, 05:14:20 PM »

That would be awesome.

One thing I did screw up on was the three spring keepers; had it all together and started to hook them springs and wouldn't ya know I fergot to put em on there before going to the next step. The install is perty idiot proof. You have a nub on the seal so it won't go but one way and the holes to the base only fit one way on the tub otherwise the holes will not line up right.

Cool! I have a maytag in the yard that awaits that tool.

I was watching a old guy take off the springs.. He used metal electrical boxes slid the boxes inside the springs to keep them stretched out..he used one box for each spring... then when he when to put them back he just slid the spring back into the tub hole... very cool and no pulling on springs...work smarter not harder....
