The instructions that came with the parts did not match the project I was doing, so those were not helpful. I looked up videos on YouTube and those all made it look way easier than it actually was. From what I could tell at that point, I wouldn't need to dismantle anything. I would simply be able to remove the gasket and put the new one in its place. I followed YouTube instructions and got the old one off, and got the back of the new one on. Trying to get the spring ring around it was an absolute nightmare, though. I tried all sorts of things, following guidance from the videos. I called my husband in to help, thinking he could strong arm it better than me. Still no luck. We read some comments on this page and on the YouTube pages and see that pretty much everybody removed the door, the front facia and the counterweights. We did that and it was still extremely hard. Easier to reach, but still impossibly hard to get all the way around the gasket without it popping off as we went around. Finally, with him using pliers to hold the spring side taught and me straddling him and using all my strength and pulling it the rest of the way around, we got it on there! Then we had to get the front one on. It was just as difficult. We both had beat up hands and were so cranky and over it by the time we got it on. So, basically, good luck. I really wish I knew how you did it, those of you who said "Easy" and said it went well. I'm jealous. Thanks for all the parts though. Appliance Parts Pros.com!
