    Hi have been out to above machine Hotpoint bwm129 to fit new door seal, the original seal is held in place by a thick wire and hook, does this require a special tool to replace ? Also there seems to be two seals for this model the other uses a sprung ring, could this be fitted to the other type of seal instead of the hook type or could I change the seal and clamp?
    Thanks Allan

    There not interchangeable mate. No special tool and they are a bit of a pig to fit. Just put clamp around seal link together and then lever over the seal.
