	Since the original agitator fins tore in less than two years, is there another agitator that would fit that has fins that don't have the separation at the bottom?

	It goes on easy. When you put the agitator back in, the latches easily bend outward as you slide the agitator down onto the coupler. When it's all the way down, the latches snap in place at the bottom of the coupler. That's why it's necessary to yank the agitator upwards to get it off. Eric

	If we need to use straps etc. to get it off, how do we get it back on? Hammer it?

	The latches are an integral part of the agitator. When you place the agitator over the agitator coupler, the latches engage the coupler when the agitator is all the way down onto the coupler. Before installing the new agitator, make sure you cannot rotate the coupler by hand independently of the agitator shaft. If you can, the internal splines of the coupler may be stripped and the coupler would need to be replaced as well. Eric

	So the new agitator can be slid over the old latches securely?

	No, the latches won't break. It's designed to work this way. The latches will be forced open a little bit when you yank the agitator upwards. See video at 1:52 minutes, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rf4RO2MGeM Eric

	Wouldn't that break off the latches? I haven't tried to force it off with straps but a firm grip and major pulling didn't work.

	That's the only way to get it off. The agitator coupler is bolted to the agitator shaft. The agitator slides over and latches onto the coupler. Using a strap under the agitator is the only way I know of to get it off. Has always worked for me. Eric
