Shaft seal is readily available and cheap but according to MPT it only fits this model. No bearings visible on BSH site or MPT or Connect. Anyone done one before please?
Mike.Re: Bosch WAA24160GB/01 what size bearings do I need?
Shaft seal has arrived and is 29x62x10/11 approx with three lips. I’m taking along 6305 and 6206, should cover me for the front. Hope the back won’t be anything strange. Will update for the record when job done.

Don’t forget your hacksaw and some longish No.8 self-tappers……

Does that have something to do with 264574?
Mike.Re: Bosch WAA24160GB/01 what size bearings do I need?
264574 – I don’t know what’s in a “Tub Seal Repair Kit”. If you’re going to do this, you need to chop off the snap lugs holding the tub together, then screw it together afterwards. Given that BSH only list the seal and a tub rear half, you’re embarking on an adventure which could benefit us all. Our ever caring wholesalers might even rattle up a bearing kit based on your findings!

Re: Bosch WAA24160GB/01 what size bearings do I need?
Not too bad a job. Bearings were 6305 and 6204. Drum was held together by about 20 lugs on the front section and 9 screws which were screwed in from the rear. I managed to get the drum apart without breaking the lugs by inserting thin stainless steel kitchen knives to hold the lugs in and levering in the gap with tyre levers. There were spare screw holes and Zanussi drum screws fitted fine in them. (I had only one with me having been misled by the picture on Connect.) The dampers are held in by pins integral with the front half so you have to unscrew them at the cabinet joints. Everything else is pretty straightforward, much like a Zan split tub. The pulley is held on by a countersunk torx bolt and is a tight friction fit. There is an O ring btween it and the back bearing. One soap dispenser screw lost its head when I screwed it back in so watch the torque on those.
Strangely enough the old large bearing was stamped “NSK ENGLAND” .
I didn’t know we still made anything here!
Mike.
