Door seal was cracked and leaking.

None.
Repair & Advice
It was tricky because when one part of the seal stayed on another would come undone. Took a lot of dish soap.

Problem
I have a 13 year old front load washer and the door boot seal was ripped in multiple places, but I didn't notice until bits of rubber started showing up in the wash load. I did the research and found the part more reasonably priced at PartsDr.
Tools
Screwdriver
Repair & Advice
My husband used multiple tools to try and pry the new boot in to the opening. I won't lie, he had a tough time because it really required three hands, but the opening isn't large enough for too many hands to get in there. He figured out a way to hold the liner and pull it around the opening using something he found in the garage - I'm not sure what. Up to that point he said a few cuss words - but then was finally able to get it installed. Once he figured out the trick, it didn't take long at all.
