Hi Jenny,

This will save you a load of money as new repair kit is now available.

The manufacture now sells a Bearing Drum shaft Repair Kit (For Riveted Drums) it use to only sell the complete drum. This can be used on these Hotpoint models  TVF760A, TVF760G, TVF760K, TVF760P, TVF770A, TVF770G, TVF770K, TVF770P

I made a video a while back that show how to remove the old plate although they say you can drill the old ones out I prefer to grind them of as in the video because it will not leave any burs on the drum that can snag your clothes. its your choice how you want to do it.
