how to replace a padle on a hoover nextra?

this is a drum out job as the retaining screws are fitted from the back,but if you are extremely handy drill a very small hole (s) through the paddle and stainless steel drum and fix the paddle in place with some short stainless screws . these need to be quite short so as not to rub off the outer tub or the heater element. the problem is caused in the first place by the user not emptying pockets
