The local guys won't offer bearing only change ... probably as you have
to split the drum.
I have ordered the drumÂ* ... is this a fairly straight forward job to do

Hotpoint WMUD762 Drum was 50% of cost that dealer wanted to charge
(Hotpoint retail price) much cheaper and free postage via eBay

Recommend APPLIANCEMERRYGOROUND good service

Was 2.5 Hrs of fun ....... I found a video on-line of how to change a
drum..... gave some clues. Biggest issue was the videos all showed
front being removed and drum out that way.
Front is welded on for this model .... Had to come out through the top
...... heavy with bottom weight attached - but could not remove that
until drum was out.

Refitting all was quick enough.

Hardest part was trying to figure out how to get door latch off .... all
videos show it is fitted by 2 screws - no screws on this version - took
some fun to remove.
