well, bought some aftermarket bearings, this was a difficult job – as the case is solid the drum has to come out of the top, which means everything out then machine on its side to drag drum out on a board. time 8 hrs including fitting bearings. reasemble 5 hrs.start the machine even more noisy. i then took it out again and this time split the inner and outer drum – the spider riveted to the drum was corroded and split on all 3 sides (new machine ordered). over the last 6months i have replaced the door rubber(started to shred), the dampers as the machine was vibrating and finally the bearings! i cannot be sure but i supect that all these were related to the spider breaking down/collapsing. i wrote down a blow by blow list of taking the machine apart if anyone wants help with how you dismantle please ask
