Hey folks... I just got a Maytag A207(not a big deal, but a neighbor was throwing it out and I thought I might pair it with my Mom's DE308 dryer) and I'm starting to work on it. You've probably been over this a million times on this site but since I'm still relatively new: how do you get an obstinate agitator out? This is a powerfin job WITHOUT the lock-nut underneath the filter column so I'm assuming it's rusted onto the drive-spline. Any way to do it without breaking apart the agitator? | ||

No Rust! The old powerfins did not have a metal spline so there is no way for it to rust. If the washer works, it is only obessesive to want to look under the gyrator. Most repairs, short of transmission are done with out removing the agitator. Kelly | ||

I'll tell you how I got mine off. I took a package of clothesline rope and threaded it up and down inside the center of the agitator, like a web. I laid the machine down on it's side and tied the web of rope to a large slide-hammer and hammered it off. It was really on there! Ken | ||
