The inn er drum and backplate needs to be removed as an item, 10 / 12 bolts around the circumference. Mark the wires for easy refit. The bolt can then be removed from the centre,retaining the pulley. The drum can then be removed from the backplate. Note the order of components. The bearing and water seal can be knocked out and new ones replaced. New seal will be required between the backplate and outer drum the new one will be triangular in shape not L shaped. Water test with back off to check for leaks. Job done approx 1 1/4 hour.
