I can't remember for sure but I don't think there is any other kind of bolt, pin, or clip holding it in... What I ended up doing was sealing the bolt hole on top temporarily (I think I used a thick plastic baggy and duct tape) and then poured boiling water over the top of the agitator where the spline is. That softened the plastic a bit and caused it to expand enough that I was able to get it off (with a bit of force) and then I clean the spline and applied petroleum jelly to it to keep the agitator from getting stuck again. |

Disconnect the hot hose and let it pour over the agitator spline for a few minutes and then give it a good pull.That almost never fails. |
