im a mechanic and have quite alot of mechanical knol, ive taken the belt off & is it a case of just taking the M12 spanner size bolt out?

lol, its easy. first you need to get the drum out, its quite abit of work to get it out if your not use to mechanics. undo the 13mm head bolt from the rear of the drum & remove the belt pully, well then there is metal snap clips around the plastic drum surround, take these metal clips all off so the front plastic surround comes away from the other part of the plastic surround, go careful and mind the heating element that built on the front part. then its best to screw the bolt back into the shaft at the back only screw it in a couple of threads. then hit wih a hammer so the drum comes loose, take the bolt out, then pull the drum out and you have just the plastic back surround. Hit the outer bearing out from the inside and the inner bearing from the outside. then fit new bearings and seal making sure you get the seal round the right way & fix back together. JOB DONE.
