Do-It-Yourself Story

Purchased door boot. The repair video is very good. It told me everything I needed to know. However, it made reattaching the cable and spring look far easier than it really is. The cable and spring holds the boot to the the washer drum. Key point is having two locking needle nose pliers and being able to pull really hard. I might suggest you mention attaching he boot to use the small marks on the rubber boot as alignment marks. It is critical to get the boot aligned correctly before reattaching the spring and cable. If you don't do this then the last step of attaching the boot to the outside door ring will not go well. The boot must line up with small holes on the plastic door ring. Remember to clean the drain line that attaches to the boot as this is easily plugged. Mine was really plugged up. The new boot and cleaning the boot's drain line fixed my leak. Wife is happy.
