How can i fix my Mieli W800 drum bearings?

My Miele W800 washing machine needs new drum bearings. It is thirteen years old so out of warranty. I have opened the front up but need to know how to get the drum out. Can anybody advise me how?

Order a repair kit for drum bearings ( from Miele) - approx £100 + vat (comes with bearings & seals.
Put aside about a day, and a lot of patience.
If you're NOT a practical, engineer type person...... forget it!
If you fancy a challenge, GO FOR IT.
I will supply detailed info, if required.

will cost you more than the machines worth im a miele engineer and it would take me half a day to do plus about 1000 pounds worth of parts to replace the bearings.after thirteen years you have had your moneys worth time to invest in a new miele as there the best! no other manufacturers bearings last for thirteen years.

Quite a job but worth it. I'd advise you to read up on it first. check out www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html
