Blomberg 1301 ABB washer – Drain pump replacement

[farway]

My Blomberg 1301 ABB washer – Now over ten years old, the drain pump impeller vanes broke off, I assume to age & possibly clogging

I have now bought replacement from UKWG and hope to fit in next day or two

Question, it looks fairly easy, but is it? Does the pump remove from the front or is access to rear of machine required, for hoses etc?

Any tips please before I start & find a 1 hour job taking all day 🙁

PS – Completed the job OK, had to go to Screwfix to buy a screwdriver bit to undo the non standard screw securing pump to machine

Thought I would mention this in case anyone else needs to replace pump

The screwdriver bit was under £3, plus time

Job was a bit fiddly but fairly straightforward, about an hour, plus travelling to but screwdriver bit
