Grant!

Brilliant news.

Just hope you didnt use brute force to hammer the new ones in. Ruin the inner of the bearing and you have had it LOL. The most nerve wracking part for me.

Sure its been water tested and all by now and is happily good to go for another few years.

Not that it matters of course but you could of done the bearings with just the front and back panels removed and drum in situ on the suspension. No problem either way just saves a little time.

Brilliant Job, Well done!

Thanks for that, used a piece of wood to protect bearings and just gently tapped them in - much easier to insert the new ones than it was to remove the old ones -  think it would have been a lot more difficult if the tub was still in situ, was able to get the tub outside and really get at it, lol....

 

Cheers
