There is a bearing on the outside (back) of the tank and a bearing and seal inside the tank. Either way, you need to finish up getting to the inside of the drum. Most LGs I’ve seen have a “clamshell” tank, which splits down the middle, so it’s all got to come out.

Spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk will be able to supply with the required bearing set.

Stay safe, power off at all times.
