Maytag washing machine spring tool
Description
This Was Created On Request From Photos. The Slot Part Was Eyeballed Due To Lack Of Accurate Dimensions. Let Me Know If It Needs Adjustment, But I Guess The Exact Shape Won'T Be Too Crucial. Same For The Thickness, I Made A Wet-Finger Guess. Original Description From The [Request](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Groups/Things-With-Actual-Uses/Topic:13023) In The Things With Actual Uses Group: There'S A Loyal Following Of People Who Use The Older Style Maytag Washing Machine. The Parts Are Cheap And Readily Available And The Machine Is A Workhorse. Repairs Are Easy Save For One Item -- The Tool Used To Remove The Balancing Springs Is No Longer Readily Available. I Don'T Believe It'S Manufactured Anymore. So You See A Lot Of Videos On You Tube From People Who Have Rigged Up Many Different Ways To Remove Those Springs. The Best Way Is To Stuff About $3 Worth Of Nickles Into The Springs So They Can Be Removed And Put Back Without Damaging The Washing Machine. It'S A Slow And Laborious Process. The Tool Makes It Easy. Would Anyone Be Interested In Creating A Design For The Tool? It Only Has Two Parts And There'S A Picture Of It Below. The Tool Is Resting On A 1 Inch X 1 Inch Grid.
