Bosch serie 8 bearings

[RobSullUK]

Hi all, 

 

I have a Bosch serie 8 machine and I'm fairly sure the bearings are starting to go (noisy spin, slight resistance at points when rotating drum by hand).

 

I bought it refurbished 2 years ago, so no manufacturers warranty. 

 

I've been told it's not cost -effective to fix... Is this right? What sort of cost am I looking at? 

 

Thanks!

Hi. A lot of drum bearings aren't available only come complete with a new outer drum. This makes it ridiculously expensive. Some might sell bearings but you need special tools to fit. Generally its not worth bothering with any more.
