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 ?

Maybe I am lucky, but I have never had to replace washing machine
bearings (in about 45 years). Usual problem of course is a seal failure
and these days that suggests to me a design problem. Sounds like quite a
long and potentially fiddly job, not sure I would even start it.
