This hose clamp extends from half an inch to an inch in diameter. It is made entirely of metal and is intended for use with Maytag brand washing machines.
Removed hinge and all screws holding two halves together with glass between them put glass in new parts and replaced all screws hinge fits in there also installed back on washer and away we went....
In this model the 2 main springs hang from a bracket built into the top of the machines frame. For some reason one of the pring was installed without the protective plastic grommet (called the guide spring washer). The handened spring eventually wore through the softer metal bracket due to the vibration of the washer. The purchsed plastic part fit into the bracket so firlmy that even with part of the bracket wore away it appears to be still strong wnough to support the weight of the tub. It has made it through 10 loads so far and it still working well. Getting at the spring was easy but lifting the tub was heavy. Thanks - $4 part saved a $1000 washer.
Phillips screwdriver is only tool needed. There are about 14 screws around the perimeter, and my hand got tired, so I ended up getting my power driver to finish. Cleaned up all the surfaces while it was apart.
