How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4442079 / 4970FR2084P Washer Suspension Spring

I followed the step by step video that was provided. The repair was quick and easy. 

Watched a repair video for my LG washing on youtube. The repair followed the steps as laid out in the video. I also replaced the seals and tub shocks while doing this repair. Freeing the inside tub shaft from the bearings and then the bearings from the outer tub required a fair bit of effort. To free the tub, I used penetrating oil, put a bolt into the spline and knocked it free using a heavier ball peen hammer. The bearings were a little easier. As the video says, I cleaned up all surfaces. To install the bearings, I first put the bearings in my freezer to shrink them a little and make installation easier. Reassembly was fairly strait forward. When I put the motor stator back on I had to use a longer bolt to pull the tub shaft splines home in the motor. I spent the better part of a good day to do this repair as I was very careful with the tub and bearings. I would recommend this repair to anyone with decent skills. My 10 year old washing machine just hums again! 

Bearings started making noise when running. Turning drum you could feel it was not smooth. The online video was very helpful. Made a step by step written direction to follow. No real issues except driving out the inner drum shaft took more force than I had anticipated. Bearings and seals replaced without much issue. Given the corrosion on the the spider and shaft I would have replaced it if I had known it. I cleaned the shaft as best as possible but still had some minor pitting. I would replace next time. Drum section seal was replaced without any issues. Installed new vibration dampers (new pins are included no need to order separate ones like I did) and support springs but they probably didn't need to be replaced.. Hardest part was getting the tub/door gasket installed! All and All it took about 4 hours of time. Good luck 

Replaced spider and gasket and also replaced shocks,springs and seal to ensure drum ran true.
