WD-12520BDM LG Washer - Instructions

I first tried to replace just the tub bearings (and the shaft seal) but found it impossible to get the old bearings out of the old outer tub. Partselect.com made the return easy and I ordered the rear outer tub assembly, which includes bearings already installed. For the most part, you have to completely disassemble the washer, removing the entire outer tub. If I had to do it again, I would order a new seal for the outer tub as well. The hardest part is getting the tub back together inside the unit. It really helps to have a helper.

Unplug Washing machine first. Then remove 2 screws at the back of the top cover. Slide the top cover back then lift and remove. Unplug electrical connector @ inlet valve and remove water lines 1 going in and 1 out of valve. Remove 2 screws holding assembly in place then install new valve assembly and all other components in reverse order.
