Seemingly fairly common washing machine bearings problem, please help!!?

I didn't remove the transit pins, from the back of my Servis M6312X washing machine. It now is making a horrible noise, as it turns, leading me to believe the bearings have now been ground down. I've opened up the back panel, however it is not immediately apparent, how to get into the housing which contains the motor and bearings etc. How do I do this and where can I get the parts diagrams and/or schemematics?
