Product review (4 stars): Save yourself the headache and buy this before you start working on your LG washer.
OK, I admit it. I originally balked at the price, so I read the reviews and believed I could get away without this when my LG washer needed a new door seal and struts.  I did get away with it, but monkeying around with those ... springs that hold the door seal in place were an exercise in frustration that seemed like it would never end.  When my water pump went a few months later, I caved in.  What a difference.  My wife couldn't believe that I'd removed the door and replaced the old pump got everything reassembled in about 30 minutes. The leverage from this makes spring removal quite easy.  Its true. It really is easier when you have the right tools!
