How hard is this to install? Could a "handy" person do it themselves or should I pay a repairman $80 to install?

check out youtube for a video on this. you really only need a pair of pliers or a weatherman tool. there is a spring clip around the bellows - this is usually located at the 6-oclock position on the washer. very easy and took me no more than 10 minutes to do. Sadly, this washer has had too many problems and we sent it to the dump. Sears was the biggest pain and would not honor the extended warranty i purchased. In the last year, i had so many problems, that i had to report them to the BBB. Moved on to Samsung, which i heard Sears uses now anyways....

Pay an installer. $300-$500. It's worth it to me. But I guess it depends on how much time you have on your hands.

Okay..I just checked out my review and remembered the manual (if not updated) was not that straightforward.As long as you can understand the steps I wrote in my review, I think you can install yourself. ( I am not a professional neither...)Since the installation (more than a year ago), I feel it's been a great addition to our house.

I actually had someone do it for me, but it seemed very easy. It took him about 10 to 15 minutes. The hardest part seemed to take off the middle of the steering wheel. I know I could have done it myself but just included it in the other things I had to have fixed.

Yes you can do the install by yourself, but probably better to have someone help.

I installed it myself without any special tools, and I'm not a handy person! Everything is provided, although the instructions are not written very clearly.

I have it installed usually and, it only cost's like $ 40.00 dollars.So if you would rather do it yourself look on youtube videos looking for the way this model is installed. it might give youthe answers your looking for.

There's instructions on Installing it, however I would advise you to get a mechanic to install it. My husband is a mechanic so he installed it, But he still had a lot of trouble with it because the directions are not very good.

Yes it is easy to install. You'll need at least a pair of pliers. A small crescent wrench is even better. Good directions with the product. Good luck.

The seller sent me directions in how to install. Give me an email address I can send you a link.

That is why I hired my mechanic to install it. There were extra pieces that I did not know what to do with and ...my mechanic said he needed a special tool to install it. My guy charged me $85 - which I thought was a good dealespecially after I had wasted 40 minutes trying to do it myself and almost stripping one of the bolts.

I would not try to install this yourself if you don't have experience or expertise of any kind in this field. This is a bit more involved than setting up a home theater system or solar lights and such. Go to a professional who does this for a living and you'll save time, money and stress.

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321

Julie.......I asked the same question to the vendor, but unfortunately up til now, I haven't heard any response from them. My suggestion to you is to think outside the box, you have to be imaginative on how to install it.
