How to replace washing machine bearings
This video should help with fitting this part. However, the exact layout and fitting technique may differ for your make and model.
Be safe - always unplug any appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.
If you are in any doubt contact a qualified repairer.
The bearings kit is high quality and the video on the website is a must see if you are planning to tackle this job.
I had a problem getting the shaft out of the old bearings, but once out the new bearings went in with no real issues.
The washing machine is now running perfectly and doing it myself saved me buying a new machine.

after following the instruction video and a lot of sweat and toil I successfully fitted the new bearings.It is not an easy job,but it is now like a new machine.The hardest part was removing the old bearings.

Exactly the right part , fitted well, machine as good as new . Great.
I am trying to replace the bearings on this model. I have got all the bits apart but I cannot get the nut on the back of the drum off, the one that holds the drive pully on and frees the drum from the plastic surround. It it a large brass nut, about 30mm outside diameter. I am using a large shifting spanner and a bar to stop the rotation, as illustrated in the video on the Bosch.
First question - it does come off doesn't it? Second question, it seems to be bound on the spindle, seized.... is this a known problem and how to release it? I have used WD40 to try to ease it, but no luck.
Thanks in advance, Barry

Hi Barry. The answer here is persistence. It sounds as if the bearing has seized completely, in which case things will be very stiff inside the drum. Use plenty of WD40 and keep at it, and eventually you'll free the nut. I'm afraid there's no secret other than that in this case!
Your basket is empty.
