It’s been noisy for a little while but is now making a terrible racket and the drum can easily be moved about from the front. Is changing the bearing a ‘simple’ job e.g. from the back, or is it a case of taking the drum out? Thanks, Graham.

Would I need any ‘special’ tools for the job? Cheers, Graham.
