zanussi fl1085?

i need to replace the bearings on model fl-1085 i have removed the back half of the machine and the large pully wobbles with the drum so i suspect bearings gone what do i do next i guess the drum will need to come out ?

whole drum out.undo all the 8mm bolts around the centre of the plastic tub and remove the front half.undo the 17mm nut that holds the pulley on and lever it of the drum shaft.using a drift knock the drum out of the bearings.knock the bearings and bearing seal out of the plastic rear half.You may find the bearings rusted on to the shaft and if so may need to replace the drum shaft.2 bearings,1 bearing seal and 1 tub seal will be required at a minimum.strip it down before spending money on the bearings is my advise!
