You forgot the part where you get arthritis trying to put the seal onto the Washing machine. Everytime one part of the seal is in place, the other side comes off

You missed the bit where you skin yourself trying to get the inner seal wire back in place. Unfortunately I've still had to call out an engineer as this seems impossible to do after 30 mins of trying and blood. Any tips or tricks as to how to get that wire back on would be appreciated as a self-help video that results in an engineer call out isn't as useful as it should be!

I’ve tried so hard the past few days and sure enough just as I think I’ve the inner retaining spring on, it pops out with the seal. I’m at a loss at this point. I was looking at spring expander tools but the spring on the retainer band is approx 4.5 inches and anything available to buy only extends to 4inches so that’s no good. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem yesterday with getting the inner wire and spring on, and solved it using this hack (cable ties and a spanner). I couldn't believe that it actually worked! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eq1gp9Z-2dm6mWw.html

This video is does not explain the hardest part of getting the inside seal on. It can be done with some persistence I used a child's plastic safety knife to help slip it into place .

Been trying to get that inner retaining spring back on for the last two days now. My hands are battered and just as I’ve thought I’ve almost got it, it pulls the seal back out from the grove. I tried to purchase a spring extender but the spring on my hotpoint is approx 4.5 inches and the longest spring extender I’ve found only extends to 4inches so I’m at a loss how to get it in. How did you use the plastic knife to pop it in (sorry if it sounds silly)

In 3 minutes and 19 seconds you have successfully given my wife the confidence to order the parts and ruin half my Sunday wrestling this wretched thing on. Please for the sake of others remove this video and replace with one stating that this job requires otherworldly patience, and should only be tackled by those with a sadistic level of self hatred.

Thank you for completely confirming that this is far more effort than it is worth. I shall be calling an engineer.

What an absolute pain this is. Fingers are almost bleeding trying to get the first spring washer on from video. There must be learned experience (or a knack) in putting these things on. Gave up to try another day.
