how do i replace a drum bearing on my hotpoint washing machine WMA36?

I've got a wma36, and in the process of changing the bearings, however i just cant seem to release the drum from its casing?

Contact Hotpoint*** all WMA model washing machines are still under 5 years old, so the complete Tub/drum assembly will be replaced by Hotpoint under their 5 year parts warranty, you may have to pay their labour charge (even though this model of machine does have premature bearing failure).
