Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0887154A2] A bearing 2 is removed from a bearing housing 4 of a laundry appliance drum 1 by driving axially an annular thrust region e.g. sleeve 17, against an end face of the bearing. This is effected by rotation of an internally threaded member, such as member 18, relative to an externally threaded member e.g. bolt 16. One of the threaded members, in this case member 18, has anti-rotation means 19 to prevent rotation of member 18 relative to the bearing housing so that the bearing can be removed by rotary force being applied only to the bolt 16 by means of say a T-bar 27. The invention permits bearings to be removed by applying rotary force only to one of the members. Previously, rotary force had to be applied to both members, in opposite directions. <IMAGE>
