My Hotpoint WMUD 962 washing machine needs new bearings and it apparently has a welded outer drum (I've not checked).
Apparently the bearing can be changed with a little bit of skill if you drill holes around, split the seam (dremel / hacksaw etc. ?) and bolt back together with sealant.
OK (if SWMBO will let me try !), but anyone done this and has a list of gotchas ?

Simon.
