I realize that this post really old but I wanted this to be available for the next guy. I bought Bosch part number 154740 which are brushes that worked for me from repairclinic.com. They will tell you it wont work but it did for my Bosch (wfmc1001uc/09) washing machine.
SOURCE: installing carbon brushes on Bosch WFK 2401
Remove rear panel of washer.
Remove drive belt.
Unscrew the 2 bolts that hold motor to tub back.
Remove motor plug
Lever notor back with a screwdriver or similar, keeping a firm hold on motor.and remove motor
At the rear end of motor away from pulley you will see the brushes and the armature.
Remove brushes, and if there is less than 4 or 5mm of carbon left, then replace them.
Lightly clean the armature with emery cloth.
Refit in reverse order. Test.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.

bad news im affraid mackem , depending on what motor your bosch has there is no way to change the carbons without removing the motor .

I just did this. Fitting the new brushes was fiddly but not impossible. Its easier if you remove the motor first as this makes access a lot easier.

You shouldn't have to buy a new motor just because the brushes went bad, someone makes the brushes to put in new motors
