Bosch WFL2260 Wash Machine Brush Replacement

Our Bosch WFL2260 has given up the ghost. It was working but making a ticking noise when spinning. Now it does nothing, apart from fill up with water. Drum doesn't turn at all. having read this forum and another one, I've decided to have a go at replacing the motor carbon brushes. Spares are on order (£14.99 vacuumbags2you.com), but my question is, does anyone have any experience of the job and can give me any pointers as to problems that may be encountered?
Thanks in advance

Depends on which motor is fitted. One, the whole end cap is replaced and is akward to do. The other is easy, straight replacement.
Take the motor out of the machine to do it, much easier.
Before you fit the carbons check the armature for raised segments, if there are any you'll need a new motor.

Thanks sleepyhead. Anyway I can tell by machine serial number or similar what motor may be fitted? The bushes I have ordered are just a pair of carbon pieces on what look like coiled springs. They are shown on the Bosch site as applicable to my machine (WFL2260/01UK)

That's the easy ones to fit. Straight forward job.
