Hi

Been trying to undo the washing machine drum central nut, but the drum
just goes round. We couldnt stop it turning, so couldnt undo the nut.
How to stop the drum rotating??

I did think of jamming wood between a drum pulley rib and a rib of the
outer tub (drum's outer casing), but the pressure on it would be
enormous, many times the force put on the bar driving the nut, so i
didnt want to smash the tub doing that.

How do you folks do it?

Take the drum out.

I hope this was a joke.
