All right, so I got hold of the agitate shaft with the pliers and got the coupler in the channel locks and I was able to unscrew the coupler from the agitate shaft. NOW, HOPEFULLY the last obstacle-----how to get the spin wheel and clutch off of the spin shaft? |

BTW it is a model:WN3 "Gold Crown". So I've got the clutch off now all the way down to the cams. Now to figure out how to get the rest off AND I don't have the special tool----a "socket cam brake tool nut"! |

I talked with Steve this morning and he's doing a stellar job on this Rollermatic washer, diving into it with little to no experience armed only with a repair manual (which can be frustratingly confusing at times) and a small workbench. He was able to figure out the spin wheel and clutch/brake package and is now in the process of replacing the bad motor with a good one and then reassembling the entire mechanism from the "ground up". Good luck Steve, you'll get it and have the jetcone jumping in no time!!
