I watched the video that was shown on this website to slide the top back, remove the control panel, remove the front panel of the washer, remove the old gasket (the two tension springs are easy to get off, not as easy to replace), cleaned out years of gunk and soap that had built up behind the gasket for 10 years as well as under the rollers in the drum (each roller has a screw, remove it, slide the roller assembly forward and lift up to take off the rollers, and the roller can be broken down further for cleaning). I also marked all the hoses going to the detergent drawer with tape and a marker and unhooked them all, removed the detergent tray and housing, and also cleaned those (lots of gunk in that detergent drawer housing). Cleaned out the two big black hoses with the screw in hose clamp and the diffusers that allow water into the drum. I ended up removing the weights from the face of the drum assembly because they were in the way of the spring gasket retainers(take note of the color of the weights for top and bottom location). Replaced the gasket with the one I ordered, replaced the interior spring retainer onto the interior gasket lip on the gasket that holds it to the plastic housing around the drum. I was able to pull the spring to the hook by hand. The exterior spring was more challenging as it is a closed loop, so pulling on the spring retainer itself was pulling out the gasket. Once I got the spring on as best I could by hand, I used vise grips to clamp onto a loop on the spring and was able to work the wire behind the gasket into the lip and get everything in place. I put the detergent housing back, put the hoses back where they were marked to go (they are identified on the back of the detergent drawer housing), replaced the 2 big black hoses, replaced the washer face, replaced the control panel, and ran a speed load to make sure nothing was leaking and the hoses were all back in place. Once satisfied, I replaced the top of the washer and wiped the gasket dry.
