The pedestals bolt into the bottom of the washer where the legs where.
This is definatly a heavy job, so it's best to get 2 more people to help you out.
#1 Remove all 4 legs that came on the washer factory.
#2 Make sure you have enough room to manouver the machines. The washer is going to be the most difficult so start with it.
#3 Have your friends tilt the machine back and you slide the pedestal under the machine.
#4 Kneel down infront of the machine to prevent it from sliding forward.
#5 Have your friends lift up the back of the machine and walk it forward until the holes in the top of the pedestal are in line wiht the holes from where the legs where.
#6 Thread in the bolts and tighten.
**You will need to take out the drawer of the pedestal to get the back bolts in. There are plastic clips on the inside of the runners, just push those down at hte same time and pull the drawer**
Good luck! Please let me know if this was helpful!

If the pedestals are properly installed they pretty much become part of the washer and dryer and if those are installed correctly you will have no more vibration then if the units are sitting on the floor. If possible get the washer as close to an outside wall as possible since the floor is stronger there.

its not but it is a 2 person job, the washer is in excess of 200 lbs and must be lifted onto the pedistal, after that its just a few brackets and philips screew to secure it.
