I have an old wringer washer, J model. I have been trying to pull the wringer head off, and tugged and pulled and twisted to no avail. Is there a trick to this that I can't seem to conquer. I get it about 6 or 8 inches up, and it seems to be caught or attached somehow. I wanted to see if I could find out as to why the rollers only work in one direction. I can wring clothes forward, but when I go to reverse, it just kind of clunks and doesn't keep turning the rollers.

Wringer head
Thanks for the reply. I had just heard that the handle on the head needs to be in the neutral position, or facing towards the rollers in order to be able to pull off the wringer. I will give this a go, but after I do a bit of laundry first. Strangely enough, my automatic whirlpool washer died last night. Pile of unspun clothes in the machine, and cannot get the machine to spin. Too many martinis last night to bother working on the problem, but will play today. Hoping it is a simple fix like a fan belt fell off, otherwise will be using the wringer washer to finish the weeks laundry until my next stretch of a couple days off from work.

Well I used the Maytag today to do three wash loads, only took 3 1/2 hours. I tried again with the wringer head, and I was able to get it off. I think the grease was the problem as it was hardening. Running the machine loosened it up. Now I can check a couple things I've been wanting to on it. Also need to work on the rubber wheel that runs the pump. Doesn't seem to pump too fast.
