I need some advice as to how to replace the drum bearings on my Zanussi FLA1001W Washing Machine.
I have removed the back half of the casing, and the drive pulley from the drum and I cannot see how to get to the bearings.
? does the drum have to come right out and be split.?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the answer.
The job has been completed, all now running great. Wife is dissapointed, she thought she was getting a new washing machine.

yes drum has to come right out and be split in half.drum has to be then pulled out of bearings and then the bearings can be removed using an extractor tool or drift.you need at a minimum 2 bearings,1 bearing seal, 1 tub seal.if the drum shaft is rusted up then you will need one of these
