I found a non working washer on CL. They want 25 for it, it leaks. Would a LW7503W be comperable to use the part out of? |

These machines wear down brake pads alot. The junk machine may have worn pads as well. Best just to order the part. |

The pump sits directly below the motor. I was planning to tackle it one pad at a time, undo the bolts pull out the pad and replace. The one in the back agreed, will be the hardest to do. |

Removing the motor/pump assy will make the job much easier. Just replacing the front 2 might cause them to wear faster, if the back one is not replaced as well. While you're at it, replace the belt...they chew through them too. |

I lucked out on mine--it doesn't leak. From what I've heard by other members who have tackled these machines, if you do find one on Craigslist with the caveat "has small leak, should be easy to fix", run screaming in the opposite direction. The center seal assembly is neither easy nor fun to replace.
