How do I replace the bearing on my Indesit washing machine?

My Indesit W103 has been making a loud knocking noise on the fastest spin I have been told it is the bearing, has anybody got any ideas how easy this is to do

Thanks

open up the back, and carefully set aside all screws, etc...

make a drawing of how you put it back together.

remove the flywheel (difficult you need to stop it from spinning somehow, I put a long driver on a fastening nut inside and braced the flywheel on that)

remove the bolts that are holding the bearing in place. If one breaks, probably not a problem since the entire bearing unit has to go.

remove the tension strip

take it all apart (again, drawing, care)

take out the bearing, get a new one, put it on and set it all back together.
