The machine would jerk violently
with a very loud clank, every time the spin cycle stopped. From what I read, it was probably the brakes but decided to do the clutch while I was there. I found web site and watched their great video on clutch replacement. I've never worked on a washing machine before but doing the clutch alone would have been what I call a "easy" job. Wi th the clutch out, you're staring right at the brake assembly. They're removed easily enough but are kind of pain to install without the right tool. I struggled for over an hour trying to get the second shoe mounted with the spring loaded between them. I ended up compressing the spring with channel lock pliars while putting a large center punch through the mounting hole in the shoe and into the indentation in the center of the mounting post. Pressing in hard and using it as a lever, I was able to pull the shoe over and onto the post. An installation tool could be easily made from a 6" piece of 1/4" or 3/8" rod, bent 90 degrees, with a point coming off one side of one of the ends. With the point inserted into the mounting post's indentation, like the center punch, the rod would only have to be rotated in order to bring the brake shoe into alignment with the post. I feel confident I could do a repeat repair in less than 2 hours even without an installation tool.
