Re: LG direct drive
By removing the motor first, thats assuming the model has’nt got a welded type tub fitted which would make it not economical.
Re: LG direct drive
POWER OFF UNPLUGGED. Complete tank out job out from the front of the machine and the remove all the tube screws that hold the the 2 halves of the plastic tank together having marked both halves first with marker pen assists visually lining up when reassembling. Not going in to the complexities of the screws and sequence of how to dismantle the machine – if you don`t have a clue where to start you probably won`t change the bearings anyway with out sounding rude and I`m sorry if I do. Point to note you will need 2 bearings and the oil seal and a tank/tube seal make sure you order the parts for you exact model of LG they are not all the same and some general purpose grease-use very sparingly on the new bearing seal inner face lip. Not difficult to repair just take your time and take notes of where the wires go and what colour/s they are for when you re build the thing. If you have hammered the machine with the bearing/s in a dreadful state and you can move the drum up and down i.e. it is lose by an inch, then you`ll probably need the drums spider unit too as the shaft will be most likely chewed up by bearing shrapnel! You knock the old bearings out or what is left of them and carefully knock the new ones in hitting the outer race NOT the inner race, grease also around the edge of the oil seal and push the seal in to the bearing recess with your thumbs aided by a gentle taps with a flat faced hammer of the edge of the seal otherwise it distorts it-not good! Best Of Luck.
