GFCI outlet with 6 wires?
      You need to find which set of wires is the feed 1st. Turn off breaker for that circuit disconnect wires . Then turn breaker back on . Which black wire is hot ? Remember which black wire has power. Then shut off breaker again . The black wire   that is  hot gets connected to your line voltage connection side  ( Gold screw on outlet ) the white wire goes to the  other line voltage side ( Silver screw )  . The other black and white wire gets connected to the load side of the GFI . If the screws are all the same color for some reason . Remember the longer slot  is always the neutral or white wire . The smaller slot is the black or hot wire .   Ground to the green screw .Turn breaker back on and test .
