[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 164271, member: 6967"] Well if it has been going for a while then what tends to happen is the insides of the bearings fall to pieces. This causes 2 problems, firstly the shaft starts to wear which means the new bearings don;t fit properly so you may also need a new shaft. Because of all the wearing the inner drum will rub on the outer drum and the element which usually sits in the bottom of the void between the 2 drums so you may need a new element and\or outer drum either soon or at some point. Also if the bearings have collapsed then there's a chance that removing them will be an absolute *****. As I say, worst case scenario, might be lucky, but I used to get an even mix of all ranges of the above, some got repaired, some weren't worth the effort. After several years of trouble free running it's sometimes worth just cutting your losses and getting rid. Might be worth stripping the old one down before deciding what to do. [/QUOTE]
