4. With the boot in one hand and with the other hand

spreading the lip and groove (on the boot near the

arrow), force the lip into the groove behind the lip at

the top of the opening on the tub shell.

5. With one hand holding the boot so it does not slip

off, use the other hand to continue spreading the lip

and groove of the boot further to the right. In this way

you continue this action 360 degrees around until

the boot is mounted onto the front tub.

6. Installing the spring. Included in the replacement

boot kit is a set of three spacers.

These spacers are to be used to hold the spring in

place in the groove on the outside perimeter of the

boot. As it will take both hands to stretch this spring

into place, these spacers will prevent the spring from

popping out when you let go of it to use both hands

to stretch it further around the boot. Begin by

pushing the spring down into the groove just forward

from where the boot contacts the front tub shell at

about the 12 o’clock position. While holding the

spring in place with one hand, use the

other to tightly wedge the spacer above it, between

the spring (in its groove) and the weight ring above

it.

7. Working to the right, push the spring down into the

groove. Once the spring has been installed about 90

degrees around the opening from the first spacer,
