Tumble Dryer Bearing & shaft Drum Repair Kit (For Riveted Drums)

Hi Graham!

this will save you a load of money as new repair kit is now available!

The manufacturer now sells a Bearing Drum shaft Repair Kit (For Riveted Drums) it use to only sell the complete drum. this can be used also on these Indesit models  IDV65SUK, IDV65UK, IDV75SUK, IDV75UK, IDVA735SUK, IDVA735UK, IDC75SUK, IDC75UK, IDC85KUK, IDC85SUK, IDC85UK, IDCA735UK, IDCA8350SUK, IDCA8350UK, IDCA835SUK, IDCA835UK, IDCE8450BKUK, IDCE8450BSUK, IDCE8450BUK, IDCE845KUK, IDCE845SUK, IDCE845UK

I made a video a while back that show how to remove the old plate although they say you can drill the old ones out I prefer to grind them of as in the video because it will not leave any burs on the drum that can snag your clothes. its your choice how you want to do it.
