I followed your well-produced video and each step was perfectly explained. Since I was taking apart a good deal of the washing machine I decided to replace the springs and drive belt. The old springs appeared to be in good shape but with the machine sometimes wildly spinning I'm sure they worked outside their limits. The spring in the back right through the back panel was a bit tricky because it was more difficult to get some leverage from that angle, the vise-grips worked very well, and using non-locking pliers would be very difficult for those trying without them. A magnetic flashlight was helpful as well.
