if the bearings have gone in the drum I have bad news for you the only way you can change them is to change the whole drum, this is because the drum is sealed, I have written a separate article about seal drums please leave your remarks on this as I find it is disgraceful but manufacturers are doing this.
I have listed the part below it’s roughly a 2 hour job to change it
If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact me. all the best Paul.
