If worse comes to worse many sellers on eBay USA or maybe elsewhere in Europe will ship to Italy..

Oils An d Grease For BD WP Washers

Is nothing special and suitable lubricants can be found easily anywhere in the world.

 

For oil for the spin tube etc, light motor oil such as sewing machine or bicycle oil is fine, for grease for the seals any automotive wheel bearing grease will far out perform what WP used at the factory, These machines only spin at about 550 RPMs after all.

Thank you John.
I'm trying to fit the new seals but it's very hard and are getting stuck. Trying to push with a piece of tube and hammer but won't budge. And it is just the first one.
The shaft seal I almost broke it too and kinda cracked down the lip but it should work anyways.
I am afraid to break them and if I do I will just give up on this washer and toss it away.
I wasted too much money already and this machine is way too delicate and risky for me.
I can't help but always think how much general electric and others just made things much more smartly and it is painful to say because I love WP/KM style and washing action.

Ok I broke the seal.
I give up thank you everyone for your help
