Description of 🔧 Enhancing Accessibility TSE-1 TSE1 Tension Spring Expander Tool for Front Loading Washer Bellows Boot Gaskets

The Expander simultaneously spreads both ends of the gasket’s tension spring allowing the metal cable to loose, making it a one-man job to replace the gasket. Designed for front loading washers, but can be used for other items that require springs to be expanded. Not limited to a brand, but not considered universal as the item may not fit all gaskets or retract or expand as far as needed. No need to remove the top of the washing machine. The Tension Spring Expander is a real ‘must-have’ tool when working on a stacked washer/dryer combo.

Very easy to use at Valves & Parts

I had pliers as a spring expander but I couldn't otherwise use it because the tip was too big for the end of the spring and/or the wire loop was too far out and didn't stretch out enough. Maybe it would work if I really forced it. It made doing good a lot easier. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Designed for front loading washing machines but can also be used for other items that require a spring expander
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Runs smoothly and flawlessly

The product worked perfectly as advertised. It was elegant and easy to use. The item was well packaged and arrived quickly. This is a special tool that really worked for the task at hand. Requirement for dismantling a front-loading washing machine. The downside is that it's very, very, very expensive for a specialty tool.

Pros
  • The expander expands both ends of the seal tension spring at the same time, which can free the metal cable and allow one person to replace the seal.
Cons
  • Can't remember

Mandatory for front loader trunk seals.

Can't say enough about this tool. The first time I had to change the shaft seal on a front loader, it took 2 hours and 2 people. I just put one on after 10 minutes because I was in a hurry and needed to restart. It gets harder to turn as you approach disc seal spring maximum, but that's not surprising given the power of that pain in the rear springs. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Tension Spring Expander is an essential tool when working with a washer-dryer combination.
Cons
  • not reliable
