very noisy when in spin dry operation?

When our Zanussi ZWF1421W gets to the spin dry operation it has become exceptionally noisy. I guess its the bearings but I have not taken it to bits yet.
Does anyone know if this is a striaght forward job, how many bearings and seals, any special tools for pulling bearings.
Any advice is welcome before I start.

the whole drum has to come out and be split in half.IF you are one of the unlucky ones you will find the drum around the centre plastic welded together.if this is the case you have to buy the whole lot complete and it will be half the cost of a new machine!.Which ever it is it will be a total strip down/rebuild and isn't easy
