Bosch Washing Machine Drum Rear Half00715098

Ransom spares quickly confirmed for me that this item is in fact genuine Bosch part '715098' (which is suitable for machines including ours, WAN28108GB/32). The part was delivered 5 days after ordering. Installing this part is not easy, however with a bit of effort our washing machine is now back to running as it should. The installed bearing sizes are 6205-ZZ and 6206-ZZ (I could not find this info on the internet); the original half-tub can be refurbished, ready for a swap-over next time the shaft seal and bearings inevitably fail! Our machine's bearings failed shortly after two years... shame on Bosch, but at least this part can be purchased and the tub is not sealed.
