Almost forgot Sorry Louis I meant to put these up. Enjoy

Even later to the party!! It was a brilliant weekend to meet up with everyone again and thanks again to Al with his superb hosting and hospitality. He is a marvellous cook and the cheese scones were to die for - as were all the other tasty treats too. It was great to be able to see and help...

Hi Louis I was lucky enough to pick up the service manual for the HN3156 which describes the functions quite well. Unfortunately the diagrams are not as clear as they might be. I'll scan them and pop it up here for interest. Paul - thanks for the comments. will defo get you guys down at some...

Thanks for the suggestions guys Mathew - I did think of the spanner that Richard is suggesting but the nut diameter is 38mm and most of these don't open to that width. I've tried looking down the inside of the tube but there are cross bits in there so you can only see halfway down. If you feel...

Not a show stopper thanks to this stuff but unless I can get the spin can out I'm not sure how to get this sorted. Anyone had any experience of getting the tube out and the can out? Any other suggestions much appreciated. Cheers S

Here's a clearer shot of the split can

I then turned my attention to the underside in the hope that there might be a coupling between the motor and spin shaft. I loosened the motor and discovered that not only had the seal split, but the can has a split in it too - there was quite a bit of loose corrosion in the outer can from the outset

Try as I might, I couldn't find anything to get a good grip on this so out came the angle grinder ........ and an adjustable spanner was shortened - the theory behind that a few taps with a hammer would loosen it off. However no amount of tapping has so far worked so I'm a bit stumped.

Here you can see the flat edges at the base

We decided that the spin can had to come out to access this properly and in order to do this the centre post where the rinse water passes through. It has flat edges which indicates that it is screwed on

Here's the photo we took last week of the split bellows.

As you may have noticed from the previous thread, Richard brought down the AEG twintub as a restoration project. I've put the link in from when he first got it. It had tripped out the electrics due to a leak from the spinner. We had a look at it last weekend and discovered the bellows had split...
