Hey, I have a 10y/o Amana washer LW8303W2 with a broken belt. I am trying to replace belt but I'm having a problem. I took out pump and motor but I can't figure out how to separate the pump from the motor shaft so I can replace belt. Some of these parts appear to be plastic and I don't want to force anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Martcopolo

Use the right torq screw bit to pull out the torq screws in the pump housing. There is only one way to get the belt on properly

It's probably leaking and rusted on. Hold the motor in one hand and pound off the pump with a hammer and try not to hit the motor in a sensitive area like the centrufical switch, although they are usually on the top of the motor.
