Bosch / Siemens wm suspension legs

[fk]

😯 We have recently had to fit suspension legs to a few Bosch and Siemens washing machines. As the legs are part of the drum ( molded on ) the instructions are to drill out old legs with a 13.2 mm ( German precision ) drill bit drilling through the molded part of the drum and fit the new legs with the bolts supplied and some inserts which fit into the leg. The trouble is the bolts supplied are nowhere near 13mm, which is the size of the hole youv’e just drilled through the outer tub ❓ And the machine is still noisy.
Anyone else done these.

Hi
Done loads, never had a problem.
If you still getting a frisky spin, it may be a distribute fault with either brush length or module.
New suspension legs usually sort 😉

Walked into one of these unsuspecting today. Wher can I get hold of the 13.2mm drill. The main engineering supplier for this stuff says that above 13mm I will need a larger chuck (pillar drill he mentioned :con: , try fitting that between the cab and the tub).

“reduced shank” or “blacksmith’s” drills are what you need…

13mm is near enough – never had any problems.
