Why are you trying to get the agitator out of the machine? What's the problem that you are having with the machine? |

OK....we will assume you got the bolt out of the center of the agitator.....
next.....find a 2x4 or something similar, and lay across the top of the machine, you may want to put a towel under the edges for protection... then, take two racheting tie downs and criss-cross under the agitator, up over the board, and start racheting back and forth, this should lift the agitator out.... never hurts to put some penetrating fluid down the center where the bolt came out and let set for a while first.... let us know how you make out.... |

well, if you have to......use a screwdriver, and maybe some help of a hammer and and pry out that funnel shape inside the auger, this has all the little balls and mechanism for that part to operate and remove all parts including the auger, then you are left with a base....
hopefully if your careful enough of using the screwdriver/hammer again, and try splitting the center part where the bolt goes, from several sections, as not to damage the threads or the spline.... but I think you will have better luck with penetrating fluid overnight, and give it another shot in the morning, then by tomorrow night, with everything set, it should slide off for you.... you may even want to fill the tub half way with super hot water before attemping this pulling method....anything is worth a shot at this point.....but then I just remembered this is a one belt unit, and you can't drain it without spinning the tub... are you sure you can't work the tub backwards and release that socket?....then work on tilting the machine to get it to the drain port.... I know your probably banging your head over this, just trying to find the simplest solution for you.... keep us posted.... |
