Great service, great list of tools required, great advice.

I completed this repair in an hour with the step by step guide. I'm a fairly mechanical guy who usually fixes his own appliances and automobiles, so this seemed simple enough up front. The guide made the entire repair straightforward and without any gaps or questions along the way.
