Product review (5 stars): Problem Solved
Combined with the bearing press tool which I rented from ebay and the basket hub the repair was fairly straightforward. There is a good 2-part video on youtube explaining how to do this. It took me about five hours all up, not too bad considering this was the first time I've done it and the washer is now quiet as a mouse during the spin cycle where before it sounded more like a blender on steroids.
