how can i acess the pump on my washing machine, hotpoint, aquarius 1200?

assuming it is the same as my 1400, take off back cover, self tappers, pump at bottom left looking from back, disconnect elect connector, disconnect rubber sump from drum (leave attached to pump) plastic quick release strap, tip machine to 45 degree angle to allow access to 2 bolts securing pump to base of machine, undo these and remove pump complete with sump and discharge pipe
