depends if you have the right tools and how good you are. at hp we had a special bearing puller made, made life very easy (although still time consuming

It would help if you tell us the make and model as the construction of different machines varies widely.

The casing is split down the middle so you remove the back half, loosen the door seal from the cabinet, remove the motor and the drum pulley, disconnect all hoses from the drum, disconnect the suspension units from the bottom of the drum then remove the drum. Undo the screws holding the drum together and lift off the front half. Knock through the spindle and lift out the inner drum, drift out the old bearings. You need to check for score marks or other damage on the bronze bush at the inner end of the drum shaft as damage there will soon destroy your new seal/bearings.
