Siemens Siwamat XLi1240 washing machine won't spin

My Siemens Siwamat XLi1240 washing machine won't go into the spin or rinse cycles. The electrics appear to be working. The belt is in place and tight, and I can turn the drum freely by hand. From reading other questions on your site I think it must be the carbon brushes, and have bought a pair to fit. The motor appears similar to the one in the video, but with the machine on the floor it is going to be very difficult to get it in or out. Would it cause any damage to the machine if I was to tilt it forward onto its front, so that I can pull the motor out from above?
