How does one change the brushes on the Hotpoint WM51 800spin?

done
remove the lid by undoing two screws on the rear, look for the large motor, on each side is a small wire attched to the brushes. Unclip the wire, it's a bit fiddly, the even an even more fiddly bit is to push in the small clip (use a very small flat screwdriver) and release the brush, they are a bit awkward but once you have done a set its a piece of cake, fitting is teh reverse of above, make sure the brush is in contact with te armature on refitting, best discription I can give
