Re: AEG Lavamat 6100 Digitronic Drum Bearings

What condition was the drum shaft in?
Shaft was good. I dressed it with some 240 wet&dry, then 1200 to polish the seal surface, then put a bit of grease on all surfaces before assembly. I’m fairly sure that the inner bearing is down onto its shoulder and not binding, so the drum must be in the same position as it was.
Puzzled? Moi?
Re: AEG Lavamat 6100 Digitronic Drum Bearings
Righty-o! Back again!
All back together with new bearings and seals but the drum goes tight when I tighten the pulley centre-bolt. It’s almost as if it’s now rubbing on a build-up of calcium (of which there was quite a bit around the front of the seal).
How can it now be in a different (relative) position? Does not compute?? The spider is non-adjustable (isn’t it?), so the confounded thing MUST be in the same place as it was, but it rubs from (apparently) somewhere in between the inner and outer drum.
WTF?? Any ideas, good people?

Ha! Done it – more violence was all that was needed. 🙂
Bearings popped out nice ‘n easy, too.
Re: AEG Lavamat 6100 Digitronic Drum Bearings
OK – motor off, all bolts out, but the three-legged ‘spider’ will not draw off the drum shaft.
Does it just need more violence, or is there summat I’m missing?
Should I be doing this with the machine upright, or should I lay it on its face so the shaft is upright? What will support the inner drum once I get the ‘spider’ off?
