Please check your model number. 8500HSA does not cross to anything on LG.COM.

Universal pedestals are for sale at Sears, Home Depot, Lowers, and Best Buy. The pedestal and machine will bolt together, that is, a bolt will run upward from the pedestal into threaded bolt holes in the bottom of the washer. If you can measure the distance from bolt hole to bolt hole on the bottom of the washer, you can check to see if the universal pedestal fits before you buy it.

Several months ago I took my front loaders off the pedestals. The pedestals were kind of nice for handling the clothes but about 40% of the time I spilled either detergent, bleach, or softener because the pedestal put the drawer too high for me.

I'm not familiar with your model but on stand mixers with crank handle bowl lift there are 2 places for it to be. With bowl lift down there can be s screw straight in from the front on the pedestal just above the bowl lift sliding bracket, the full range of adjustment is half a turn, anti clockwise to raise, clockwise to lower. The other one is a small screw sticking down from under the gear case where the bracket that carries trhe bowl slides up and down. Clockwise to lower, anti clockwise to raise.

The harmonic balancer on these engines is now press fit onto the crankshaft and requires the use of Tool J-38197 for removal. The torque specification to be used during installation has also been revised. The procedure to be used when replacing the crank sensor is as follows:

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect serpentine belt from crankshaft pulley.



2. Raise vehicle on hoist.



3. Remove right front tire and wheel assembly.



4. Remove right inner fender access cover.



5. Using 28 mm socket, remove crankshaft harmonic balancer retaining bolt.



6. Remove crankshaft harmonic balancer using Tool (J-38197).



7. Remove foreign object deflector (DO NOT use pry bar).



8. Disconnect sensor electrical connector.



9. Remove sensor and pedestal from block face.



10. Remove sensor from pedestal

INSTALLATION

1. Loosely install crankshaft sensor on pedestal.



2. Position sensor with pedestal attached on Tool J-37089.



3. Position tool on crankshaft.



4. Install bolts to hold pedestal to block face, torque to (18-26 lb. ft.).



5. Torque pedestal pinch bolt to (26-44 lbs. in.).



6. Remove Tool J-37089.



7. Install foreign object deflector.



8. Place Tool J-37089 on harmonic balancer and turn. If any vane of the harmonic balancer touches the tool, replace the balancer assembly.



9. Install balancer on crankshaft.



10. Apply thread sealer GM #(NNN) NNN-NNNNor equivalent to threads of crankshaft balancer bolt. Torque bolt to + 56 degrees (104 lb. ft. + 56 degrees).



11. Install inner fender shield.



12. Install tire and wheel assembly. Torque lug nuts to (104 lb. ft.).



13. Lower vehicle.



14. Install serpentine belt.

The pedistal has 4 leveling legs on the bottom of it you can adjust to a certain point. You may have to take the lefts off completely and if it still doesn't fit, you unfortunately didn't measure properly.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector at the sensor.
3. Using a 28mm socket and pull handle, rotate the harmonic balancer until any window in the interrupter is aligned with the crank sensor.
4. Loosen the pinch bolt on the sensor pedestal until the sensor is free to slide.
5. Remove the pedestal to the engine mounting bolts.
6. While manipulating the sensor within the pedestal, carefully remove the sensor and pedestal as a unit. To install:
   
7. Loosen the pinch bolt on the new sensor pedestal until the sensor is free to slide.
8. Verify that the window in the interrupter is still in the correct place.
9. Install the sensor and pedestal as a unit while making sure that the interrupter ring is aligned within the proper slot.
10. Install the pedestal and tighten the engine mounting bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).

3X Sensor

2. Remove the sensor harness connection to the sensor. Fig. 1: Unsecure the harness, then unfasten the bolt to remove the CKP sensor
   
   
3. Unsecure the sensor block bolt.
4. Remove the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor from the vehicle. Inspect the O-ring for cracks and replace if needed. To install:
   
5. Install the new O-ring if needed and lubricate with engine oil.
6. Install the sensor into the hole in the block.
7. Install the mounting screw and tighten to 71-88 inch lbs. (8-10 Nm).

Pull the lower front panel off and check the filter on the pump housing. If it is restricted it may not be getting enough water out of the clothes before the spin starts. Do you have it on pedestals? Sometimes this exaggerates the vibrations due to the raised center of gravity.
