Watched your how to video. Took off door, unscrewed front panel, propped up top panel, removed front panel, wiring harness, boot from drum and replaced all in reverse order . Only real challenge was getting the boot on the drum. It took about 10 min to get the boot on the drum. It came off 4 times while trying to replace the wire spring harness. I finally got someone to hold one end of wire while I pulled the spring and reconnected them. ( this was a bear). I takes some strength to pull that spring. Then I connected the boot to the front panel. My advice is to line up the tabs in the appropriate slots then stretch the rubber in a clockwise manner to get all the tabs to line up. It took me a bit to figure this out. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours
