Zanussi Bearings

[kevlar]

First of all hello to everyone, I am new to this forum so hopefully can receive some help.
I have started to strip down Zanussi FLS1183W to change bearings and am unsure about a couple of things that I hope someone here can help with. Am I right in thinking that drum is left in-situ and back half released to access bearings or does whole drum have to come out. Also how do I undo bottom suspension arms, the plastic “bolt” doesnt seem to budge and do not want to force anything.
Thanks for any advice

Re: Zanussi Bearings

The whole drum has to be removed after you first release the ‘locking tabs’ on the suspension securing pegs. (push the tabs in with a small screwdriver as you pull each pin out!) 😉

Any further tips and tricks you may wish to ask are easily answered using the ‘Search’ facility. Keywords can reveal many previous posts on the subject, it’s all there if you delve in….? 😉

Thanks, have sussed out the plastic pegs now and removed whole drum ans split it. Couple of flattened ball bearings on floor so bearings must be bad, so next job is to remove them, any tips appreciated, will search for previous posts as well

OK then..new seam seal and glue :rolls:

Knowing how those seals used to weep, I would always replace a tub seam seal.
