Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
iv`e had a better idea, i took the old bearing and grinded a tiny amount off the outside diameter . it now just drops in so when i get the new bearings i can use this to press the new ones all the way in without any fear of it getting stuck like last time. (hopefully)
Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
i`m trying to stay with the pressing them in idea cos if i go at them with a hammer and punch i`m bound to wreck another bearing 🙂

When you get the new bearing kit just use your “threaded bar, 2 square pieces of wood and a few washers and nuts” without the old bearing though. It will go in place just the same, no problem….BEST OF LUCK NEXT TIME! 😀
unfortunately i`ll have to put something in between the block and the new bearing as this inner bearing goes in below the edge of the housing on the tub so as your pressing them in you can only get them in so far because the wood square hits the bearing housing receiver thing. i` ve to got push the bearing all the way to the inner lip on the housing as the seal needs to be put in after it. only thing is what to use. i think i might make a ring out of polymorph plastic the same diameter as the bearing. it should not be a problem getting that back out as it goes soft again when you apply heat to it but when its cool it really tough. i used this on the inner faces of the wood that make contact with bearings when you tighten it up and it hardly even makes a mark on it. i wish i`d have thought of that first instead of using the old bearing. :taz:Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
this should give you a laugh-
i made a doins to press the new bearings in with a threaded bar, 2 square pieces of wood and a few washers and nuts.
it worked great for the outer bearing but the inner bearing goes in further to leave a space for the seal so i used the old inner bearing in between the press and the new bearing, that worked great to untill i unscrewed everything and realised it had pressed the old bearing into the space where the seal should go. i tried everything to get it out but ended up having to knock the new bearing out from the other side to push the old one out. result– i have had to order another bearing kit!

i have met some ladies who were definitely gits 🙁
we`ve already bought a new machine but i thought if i could sort this one out it would good as a backup if in the future the other one develops faults. i think one the things thats slowing me down is thought of putting it all back together 🙂
you`ve got to have a laugh some times or you`d go off your rocker! 🙂Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
ha ha very funny 😆
this is the first time i have attempted to change a washer drum bearing and before joining this forum i had absolutely no idea how to go about doing so. i have changed a few car wheel bearings but that was years ago. as for the time i`ve just received the parts . from past experience of this sort of stuff i have found that its not a good idea to just go steaming in. hence the large amount of time and questions .
so there , you sarky gits. 🙂Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
i put some grease in the lip in each side of the housing on the drum half where the new bearings will go, is this right or do they need to go in dry? i mean do i need to get rid of all this grease before installing them. do you think the grease wil make installation easier or more difficult?
Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
thanks for that martin. if its not needed why do they include it in the kit? what a waste. actualy after thinking about it there may be other machines that this kit fits that do need it.
Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
looks like i`ll have to get a new spider after all,
is there some sort of felt gasket that goes on the brass bush ahead of the seal? and where does this extra seal/ boot type thing go? does it slide on the shaft after youv`e put the outer bearing in and sit between the bearing and the pulley wheel?
this is getting complicated, my brain urts 😕Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
hello . again. just had a thought -does it matter which way round the new bearings go in? 😕
Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
is there anybody there? knock once for yes and twice for no. 🙂
Re: new zanussi bearings
sorry again 😳
i was just trying to get an answer.
can i delete these threads?Re: zanussi zwd1471s torx pulley screw removal

just two more questions (for now 🙂 ) – when i knocked these bearings out there were 2 bearings and a seal but the kit on ukw has two bearings and two seals, where does the other one go?
also do you think i could get away with re-using the original spider, it s not in bad nick, not particularly corroded but i thought i would just see if the old bearings would go back on it, the larger one will but the smaller one wont go on at all. could this be because the`ve gone out of shape with all the smacking with a hammer and punch? there is some light speckly rust on the shaft. i don`t think i damaged the shaft end because i used a peice of three by two and a lump hammer to knock it out of the old bearings, it was not easy to get out of the old bearings. it would be nice if i didn`t have to fork out for a new spider but if i have to i`ll have to!Re: zanussi zwd147s tub seal seems an odd one
