Re: How to remove Drum Pulley Indesit W103UKA Washing Machin

Hi Martin… Thanks… I didn’t actually mean on the pulley itself 🙂 .. but how it could have been read that way…

I meant…(as you kindly described) use sealant when fitting the replacement pulley. i.e. on the bolt/ thread when I have replaced it.

Thanks

Would I have to put loctite sealant on the replacement pulley also? Can anyone recommend which to use and how much?

I forgot to mention that there isn’t that much left of the old pulley… actually it broke off more or less flush so it just looks like a washer left behind and the pulley (other than missing a bit and having a very rough edge) looks almost 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} complete. 😮

Hi there,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I’ve had the washer since new (10 or 11 years?). It’s a good runner (up til now) so I thought I would attempt this myself since a new pulley seems all that is required.

The old pulley is definately secured with an ordinary bolt (17mm seems about right but I haven’t tried the nearest imperial measurement). I have had the other half try to hold the inner drum but she’s not strong enough… actually respect to her because it seems neither am I.

I had no idea that they are secured with loctite sealant but I do have a heat gun so I could try that. Do you know how long I should apply the heat. Would I also need to give the bolt a light ‘crack’ of encouragement using a hammer to break any locking seal?

I thought that this would be a 15minute job… obviously nothing is ever that easy 😉

Regards, Jay
