today i went to remove the agitator of my Maytag A482 washer in order to inspect the machine further than i previously had. However when i went remove the agitator bolt, i noticed that the bolt head was completely broken off, and from what i can see, looks like the previous owner had started to attempt (not very successfully) to drill out the agitator bolt. I’m afraid to drill it out as i don’t want to damage the agitator to the point where it causes problems or damage the agitator shaft. If worse comes to worse, i can order a new power fin agitaor for it, but i would prefer to remove this one without destroying it. Any ideas or methods i should try in order to remove the agitator?

What if you get some needle nose pliers, drill slightly around the place where the screw is so it makes a small divot and unscrew it. Then buy a new agitator screw on some OEM website. It’s a 3/16 size if you’re wondering |
