Thanks Rob October 20, 2006 at 8:38 pm #192742 Penguin45Participant Re: Hotpoint wm65s bearings Yup, front off. There are no specific torque setting – body weight and a good bounce or two is sufficient. Inspect heater as well when you’re in there – the drum can run against it and cut the sleeving if the bearings are particularly bad. Power off at all times, Regards, Penguin45.
