As subject line ... Can anyone give general advice on how to replace
the drum bearing of a washing machine?

You have to remove the front of he machine, then from the front you
remove the front of the outer drum and the inner drum. Then you get
access to the bearings. It's too detailed to try to decribe here, even
if I could. Haynes do a manual, which you may find in a library, which
describes it in inadequate detail.
