Tom -
You can put a lot of force on the agitator in your efforts, in fact I have briefly picked-up machines off their feet trying to get the agitator out. If it turns out "stucker-than-stuck" you can use an agitatmer, which employs an empty bladder like a hot water bottle, which you seat under the agitator. Once tucked under, you fill that agitamer with water from a hose, and the expansion of the bladder pushes the agitator up --- sometimes gradually, other times all of a sudden. I'd say feel free to put some pressure on the situation, it won't hurt the machine. Just pull straight up. Gordon | ||

Thanks all for your assistance. Maybe I'll host an agitator removal party and have a few of my friends try to help me lift it out. Of course I won't tell them this until they get here, they may not show up!!!!!!! | ||

with the top in place, lid open.....lay down a few towels across the machine edges, on top of them lay down a 2x4 across the machine centered over the agitator, and with 2 racheting ties down, criss-crossed under the agitator and up around the 2x4.....and start to rachet both at the same time....this should pull the agitator off the machine.....
simplest method I have used so far......adding some penetrating oil down the center doesn't hurt either... | ||

Is there a bolt or nut in that hole on the top of the agitator? That could keep it on the machine. | ||
