Hi all
I need to change the drum spider on one of these this week and notice that the old one is riveted on – drilling it off won’t be a problem but I couldn’t see any kit for fixing the new one to the drum – is there one or if not what do you use?

Re: Hoover HNL2126S-80 – Spider Change
Seeing that they sell the spider as a separate unit there must be an approved way of fixing it?
I am already guessing that the ordinary nuts and bolts in a hardware store won’t cope with the detergent and water mix so what type are used for fixing things like the Hotpoint spiders?

Stainless steel nuts bolts and washers from RS or your local fixing stockist
Re: Hoover HNL2126S-80 – Spider Change
Did one Hoover bearings + spider change once years ago and those rivets are haaard!! Take a 10mm cobalt drill and you should be OK. It was a Performa I did so could be a whole lot different now but it was a pig of a job and I vowed never to do another. I used a Hotpoint WM series bolt kit. I think I had to enlarge the holes slightly to enable them to fit.
I had the impression anything with -80 at the end was of Chinese origin.
Mike.
