There are a few comments I have for this video.
First, there is no need to remove pump hoses, just jam the pump to the left against the frame, saves a lot of time moping up water.
Next, put the black coupler on the tranny coupler and tilt the washer back to install the motor, this is a lot easier, you will have more light on it. Another trick is to shim up the bottom of the motor with a piece of wood, helps to get the motor in line with the coupler.
Next, I always turn the motor shaft clockwise till the brakes release, just a check if anything got jammed.
