Hotpoint WD64 bearing replacement

[timtheenchanter]

Trying to replace the bearings on my WD64, however the inner bearing does not want to budge, am I missing something obvious?

Im presuming it comes out from inside the drum, as the inner bearing is larger than the outer, and the seal is pressed in from the inside.

Tried my manual bearing puller, it was having non of it.

Suggestions please.

Can you post a picture?
Some people may have mechanical knowledge but not be able to visualise your actual problem.
(Not the bearing stuck but the physical appearance of them).

You need a drift to knock it out from the rear into the front of the drum. That's the small one at the front. Yes large back one falls out from the back. The inner ring may be welded and stuck on the inner race. You could try s drimal to try and cut it out.
