First of all obtain a new bearing spider INDESIT Part No C00074648.
Remove the top lid (two screws at rear then slide lid backwards),
remove rear panel (six screws).Lay the machine on its front ,remove the
belt and motor (four bolts).Remove the pulley centre bolt (Torx 40-
this bolt will be very tight) and ease the pulley off, remove the 8
Torx 40 bolts from the tub/spider (these will also be very tight) then
ease off the spider from the drum shaft and tub. (this also could be
very tight depending how badley worn the bearings are). Refitting is
the reverse of these directions.

Or try this
To change it you have to remove the drum
pulley, unscrew the clamp band holding the drum backplate, remove the
backplate + inner drum, drift the drum spindle out of the bearing
housing to remove the inner drum, unbolt old housing and bolt in new
one.
There is also a gasket for the bearing housing flange but this is
easy enough to make from a cereal packet. When refitting the inner drum
+ backplate you will find it easier if the machine is lying on its
front. I always put silicone sealer round the rubber seal of the
backplate as they are prone to leaking once disturbed.

You need to remove tthe belt and motor assembly, I see if I can find diagrams and pictures for the specific model.

I diod not find exact schematics for this model, I believe that this is a front load model.
On an Indesit front load you need to access the belt assembling and release the belt, then you take the drum pulley off.Then take the bearing out, if it does not come try using a rubber mallet to knock the drum shaft out. Be careful not to damage other parts using the hammer, that is a risk.
All repairs must be done by a qualified repairman.
Here is a general diagram for Indesit FL: Front Load

I'm
sorry to say, this almost certainly means that the main bearings on the drum have failed. This
is NOT a job for the uninitiated DIY enthusiast as it will mean stripping the
machine and removing the drum from the chassis, splitting it, removing pressed
in bearings and then sourcing and re-fitting new bearings.
To be frank, the cost of a bearing set (if they are replaceable , and most are) will be about £20 (($30) or so. But its a long and horrible job if you haven't done it before. I know professionals who claim they can do a bearing change in under an hour, I've done a few and it takes me about 2 hours by the time I
