Bosch WFD2071GB/05

Does anyone know an easy way of splitting the outer tub assy on this model. I’m guessing you need a dozen or so wedges to tap into the locking barbs to release them and then lever the two halves apart but the plastic seems very weak.

Never found an easy way, usually ends up having to replace the two halves, oh and not forgetting to locate suspension legs inbetween new tub halves before offering them together 😀

Break the tabs off. The bearing kit comes with screws to fit to the unused screw holes. Put the legs back in as Greg says – it’s embarrassing otherwise.

Thanks for the replies. Have looked on the Bosch website and only shows rear tub half. Any chance of a part number??
Cheers Rick

Thought 172686 would do it Greg? 2 bearings, oil seal, tub seal and lots of screws.

Thanks for the help lads. Managed to get the tub split by making up some thin steel wedges tapped under the clasps to open up the barbs. Bearings same size as Hotpoint 95/WM ,found matching seal in my ‘come in handy’ box. Will fit extra screws around tub to save me stripping it down again should it leak!!!:D
Thanks again
Rick
