Zanucci washing machine bearings?

How do I replace the drum bearing on my Zanucci washing machine? It is a front loading FL1082.

question - how do you knock the drum out?

Tke the lid off,you'll see the grey plastic tub that holds the water and has the drum sat in it, if you're feeling up to it you have to strip that out and seperate the 2 halves (bearings are mounted in the rear half)..involves disconnecting the motor, wiring to stats and heater, pulley, shock absorbers, hoses top and bottom, door gasket from front of cabinet, tub springs from the cabinet, remove all bolts holding the 2 halves together then knock the drum out of the back half. Now you can get to the bearings!...remember to change the seal between the 2 halves of the tub before reassembling and that the heater slides under the securing clip when the 2 halves are going together....sorry but there isn't an easy way to do them
