Noisy bearing on a LG Intellowasher DD?

Got a noisy bearing on our LG intello direct drive washer model number WM-1480FHD does anyone know how to get it out. Got the motor housing off no prob, just wondering if its possible to get the bearing out?

You need to take the whole tub assembly out and then split it. You can then tap the tub out and then pull out the seal and drift or press out the bearings. You will need a new tub seal, bearing seal and bearings along with 2 new hinge pins for the dampers. Be aware that the bearings fitted are 6205and 6, not 6305a nd 6 which most site list. The seal is also 66mm diameter, not 78mm to suit the big bearings. I've just done the job for the first time it took me 5 hours. Spare parts are cheapest from SEME or CPC. Good luck
