remove the rear panel and you should see a four legged external bearing housing. Using a t40 bit remove the pully retaining nut and lever off the pulley. at 10 oclock 2 oclock 5 oclock and seven oclock you'll see support legs each is help on by 2 t40 bolts remove these. at this point i usually remove the heater to stop it getting damaged its one 10 mm nut in the centre then it'll prise out, tap the whole bearing support gently clockwise this will dislodge it. Refit the large t40 pully bolt and then tap the drum shaft inwards to free it from the bearings. Remove the pulley nut and lift the support free. On this model the whole support is supplied not just teh bearings so refitting is the reverse good luck !
