Reply to Fixerman Did that. I bumped the tub down and rotated it as I went for quite a while. What ever is holding it is strong! Thanks! -Steve | ||

Those things can be a bee-itch to get loose. When you press down, you're just compressing against springs in the drive mechanism, that's why it comes back up. Just pressing down isn't sufficient. You have to grab it by the edge and rock it UP and DOWN, HARD. The drive block is split so it can grab more securely onto the neck of the basket. Sometimes if you can get enough upward force on the basket, the drive block will come out with it. | ||

Steve 1-18 and Rhinnie as well as PeterH,Brent Aucoin and Les are comming over for a visit and mini "wash-in" today. Between all of them we can turn the damn thing upside down and shake that tub out! I'll let you know if we succeed. Thanks for all the advice. --Steve | ||

Oh, one thing: If the machine does have a hexagonal agitator drive, that might have to be removed before the basket will come off, not sure if the neck of the basket will fit over it. The agitator drive block just presses down onto the splined shaft -- some older machines didn't have a splined shaft, there was a notch instead, IIRC. No, other than removing the spanner nut, and possibly the agitator drive block, there's nothing else that holds the basket on. It's just stuck. The basket drive block may or may not come off with the basket. It is a separate piece that just presses down onto the spin tube. Take the torch to it. | ||
