zanussi aquacycle 1000 motor removal?

there are 4 screw bolts holding the motor on about 50mm and have an 8mm nut head.once these have been removed tap the motor from the drive shaft end backwards to release it from the plastic tub mounting stubs.you can remove the brushes by tipping the machine on its back and you don't have to remove the motor at all (inside info lol).brushes will be held on with pozi screws or 5.5mm nut headed screw.you can stretch the old brushes to check if the machine will work with a new set of brushes but once stretched get them replaced with new ones asap
