Motor not running

yes its a filthy messy job,
you will need a torx screwdriver though a 10 or a 15 i think, and a ratchet set to take off the motor bolts would help a lot. wear gloves as you will have to wrestle the motor out and the inside casing on the machine has sharp edges that could cause a nasty gash.
just remember to disconnect the electricity and water before starting since you are looking for the easy way to do things.
