The bearing casing is moulded into the plastic drum of the washing machine and need to be cut free. you can either smash the tub up or cut it out if you have a use for the rest of the tub.

To remove the bearing case from the tub I used a angle grinder to cut into the segments on the base of the tub, I also did the same on the inside of the tub too.

I then used a a hand axe to hack out the bearing case but not totally destroy the tub, I plan to use the remainder of the tub to make some kind of planter.
