zanussi bearings?

Hi, my FLS 1183 W is now making a lot of bearing noise. I have got 2 bearings and a seal and have removed the back off the machine. I am now wondering which wil be the easiest way forward, can anyone give guidence please? Thanks, Andy.

take the whole drum out of cabinet and then remove pulley wheel.remove 17 bolts around middle of drum.split it in half.remove stainless inner drum (might need to use a drift to get shaft out of bearing).now knock bearings and seal out of rear tub.refit in reverse.if shaft is damaged replace it or it will only last a short while before the bearings fail again.you need a new tub seal to do this job properly
