Old washer, can't get parts loose to replace 'dogs'

So I know the dogs need to be replaced. this sucker is old. was my grandma's before I got it.
I managed to find the right tools to remove the main bolt, but there seems to be some sort of tabs holding the pieces in that hold the dogs in place. Is there some secret to get to those tabs? I don't want to just fiddle with it because I am prone to breaking things.
My husband is very handy under normal circumstances, but for these tabs, even he is at a loss.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Any help is greatly appreciated. here is what you do. Put the agitator on the ground, and put you right foot on the base, on the right side, and your left foot on the base on the left side. So basically you are standing on the base. Then grab, the agitaot up top, and yang real yard, and real quick, and that will seperate the top part of the agitator from the bottom part.

it worked like a charm.... and here I was worried about breaking little plastic bits...
And who would have imagined that not-so- lil ole me could attack washer repair with just a few helpful words from a stranger...
thank you much for your reply. I have had laundry piling up for a while now, I have been doing loads with the lid open and spinning the thing around by hand. lol
I am hoping a little tape or something in there will help hold me over till my replacement bits come...
you are an angel!!!
thank you thank you!!!
