How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP5681794 / FAA30970901 Bolt Assembly

I did some research on line after we had a service professional out and he could not determine the fix. I removed the bolt attaching the rotor assembly, removed the rotor and saw that it was partially stripped. Went on to partspro.com put in model #, and part required, and ordered it. I added the bolt to my order, and received the parts in three days. Put the part on in about ten minutes and the washer is like new again running great. 

Replaced the spider. Had a problem getting one of the bolts out of the spider(stripped out). Cut bolt with a reciprocating saw. Had to replace baffle after cutting the spider bolt. Note: The spider was broken in 2 places. It appeared to have failed from galvanic corrosion. The inner tub and spider bolts are stainless steel and the spider is cast iron. LG needs to look at this design flaw. 

I watched a tutorial and fixed it with so much ease and I’m not a handyman at all. Saved me from buying a new washer. 

After watching your videos, I disassembled my washer to find the main shaft was broken almost entirely away from the tub. I ordered new bearings seals and a tub assembly. A very difficult process, not for the faint of heart or in-confident person mechanically. 

Tried to remove the rotor bolt and it snapped off, tried to easy out the broken piece and the easy out broke. Had to replace the spider. Repaired perfectly with the help of your videos! 

Replaced the main bearings and seal 

I had previously replaced the two bearings supporting the tub, along with the seal, but had neglected to replace the spider where the seal rides. After 6-7 months the seal had allowed enough water to bypass that the primary bearing had failed again. This time I replaced the spider, both bearings, the seal and the nut that holds the rotor onto the spider. I had damaged the nut removing the tub from the bearings the first time and knew going in that I would need that. The first repair was very time consuming and I had to really beat the tub shaft out of the bearings as they were quite stuck, this time I knew what I was doing and was in and out in about half the time. 

Followed the video found here, ordered the parts, which were delivered quickly. 

Replace bearings and seals. It is not complicate if you fallow the video from this site.
