LG direct drive WM
(two bearing job to do this week !! LG bearing virgin !!)

I have got the outer tub out of the machine and split it, but how do I get to the six bolts holding the direct drive to the outer tub ? the outer guard of the direct drive is held internally by three bolts, and can’t be un-bolted from the outside, the fins are to close together to get a socket to the remaing bolts any ideas ??

H if you are changing the tub and not just the bearings becareful as new tub has holes for direct drive indifferent position. 🙁

Hi

The Direct drive unit is held on by one bolt in the centre,the stator is then bolted onto the rear of the tub by about 8 bolsts
