Whirlpool R9900543 Brake Pad Kit OEM Part

Unplugged washer and removed front access panel; removed plug from motor. Removed 4 screws holding the motor/pump assembly in place and moved gently out of the way. Used small wrench to remove screws holding the brake pads and removed the pads (pads fit snug in the expandable pulley groove, but can be removed with patience). Lubricated the pads as stated in info sheet included and used small wedges inserted in the pulley to hold the pulley open enough to insert the pads (start with rearmost pad first in reassembly). Reinstalled all pads and screws. Carefully removed 3 screws and separated the pump from motor (hoses were connected @ this time but may have been removed to make more room/need towels to catch water from pump), installed new belt and reassembled motor to washer. Ran thru wash cycle with no soap and check for leaks and operation. Reinstall front cover. (DO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN LOWER WASHER AREA WHEN RUNNIN WITH FRONT PANEL OFF TO RECHECK FOR LEAKS!!) Very tight working area during the job, but can be done.

Replaced the three brake pads.
