The Bearings on my washing machine have given up how do I replace them the machine is a Zanussi Nexus FL1081 where do the seals go etc?

Tub is 2 piece plastic,bearings and seal are pressed in rear half. requires tub removal before you can undo the halves. Cabinet splits down the middle. remove all hoses, motor,suspension(lay on its front). and lift out tub. once split, drift old bearings and carefully press old ones in,(available with seal from Zanussi).Check drum shaft.If brass bush at base is scored, replace shaft/spider as well or new bearings won't last 5 minutes.
