Hi All,
Anyone have any idea how to remove the counter weights from the plastic drum on a hotpoint Aqualtis washing machine? Rather than the usual bolts, it appears to have a plastic sleeve with a spring inside it. Almost as if the role of the spring is to separate the pieces of the sleeve to increase the diameter and therefore hold onto the concrete.
Any help greatly appreciated - currently have washing machine in bits
thanks

I fear those will be a one time push fit device to cheapen production.
Once on never off. There might be a special tool to compress them but I
bet the spring will be pretty strong for that application.
Good luck
After much searching I finally came across this video. It looks like it is in Russian but this is the thing. So anyone any ideas on how to fashion this special tool?
