    Can anyone give my any pointer on removing the old bearing (two bearings) from this washing machine. I have allready bought the new bearing kit to fit.

    Cheers

    I would like to know the best way to remove the shaft out of the bearing which is located at the rear where the spider/three leg thing is located.

    Thank you gentlemen – now, let’s get it all in the right order…

    Remove belt and pulley.
    Loosen (only) bolts surrounding centre of bearing support.
    Undo bolts at end of bearing support arms.
    When the support comes free, rotate slightly to the left – the bolts will align with a “key hole” fitting.

    THEN – whilst pulling the bearing support towards you, hit the drum shaft with a hammer. Bigger the better, preferably copper faced. Use the pulley bolt to protect the end of the shaft.

    To remove the bearings and seal, steel bar and that big hammer required. That’s actually the easy bit – getting the support back in is the fun part………

    I would seriously suggest that you make diagrams of all wiring on the back of the drum before you start – power off, obviously.

    That is all……..

    Regards,
