The Ferret Tamer 1 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi always change the spider & bearings together or you will be changing bearings again within 18 months! Ps don't forget to renew drum seal as well. Regards FT (ex Hotpoint Senior Engineer) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratmogit 16 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 go to your local car parts/tool place and ask for some freeze release spray . it will contract the metal when its frozen. even if you spray the bearing itself it should crack it off once its warmed backup. if you cant get any of that go to your local plummers merchant and ask for some pipe freezer. its better than setting your machine on fire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
