Hi, I assume you have a replacement agitator if so, just cut the old agitator out by breaking it to pieces cutting, etc.
When you get down to the aluminum mowing nut heat it with a torch and it will come off easily. If you want to save the agitator, I’ve always been able to get them off by turning a propane torch to a very low flame, and holding it in the middle of the agitator and heating the aluminum nut Until it just starts to smoke a bit. Then it will unscrew easily without damaging anything in the mechanism I’ve had to do this many times over the years, both of the solid tub and the 118 machines. John |
