HiBeen trying to undo the washing machine drum central nut, but the drumjust goes round. We couldnt stop it turning, so couldnt undo the nut.How to stop the drum rotating??I did think of jamming wood between a drum pulley rib and a rib of theouter tub (drum's outer casing), but the pressure on it would beenormous, many times the force put on the bar driving the nut, so ididnt want to smash the tub doing that.How do you folks do it?Regards, NT

I hope this was a joke.

Drum bearings

Job done, with thanks to folks here. I used 2 wooden jams, one against the tub ridges, and one against the floor. It then behaved nicely. The washing frenzy has begun!

I think it may have been the end of a very long day!
