Lee H Tucson , AZ July 14, 2015 Bad bearings on 8 year old lg washing machine Replaced bearings and seals. Replaced inner tub assembly because three of the six bolts that attached the spider with spindle to the inner tub stripped out when trying to remove them as I wanted to replace the original spindle with the installation of new bearings and seal. My bet is these bolts were never intended to be removed after their initial installation. Total repair time was approximately 5 hours. Machine works like new. 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 2+ hours
