hotpoint 9546 drum bearings

[cmbwatson]

Hi, I need to replace the drum bearings on this machine. I have done this before on 3 different machines, but not this one.
Just hoping someone could give me some pointers or a guide before I start to save me some time. I havent removed any covers yet.
Hope you can help.

Thanks

Keith

Front of the machine comes off, outer tub front plate comes off, remove the rear pulley and you're halfway there.
Get a spider and bearing kit and a tub seal.
Once you get the inner drum out you have to drift out the rear bearing from inside the machine and the inner bearing from the rear. Hopefully the inner will come out clean and not leave the inner race behind (nightmare to get that out).
Fit the new bearings and bearing seal, new spider to inner drum and reassemble using the new tub seal.

Ok, thanks, sounds similiar to the other hotpoint I've just done, very easy really.
I'll be doing the job next week, thanks for your help.
