That shaft sits on top of a metal disk with a ball bearing under it inside the gearcase which could be damaged. The best method is to grab one side of the tub with both hands and really rock it up and down like your trying to break it to work it loose. The tub, drive block and spin tube have corroded together. Sometimes they just won't come apart without cutting. If you have to resort to banging on the drive block, I would advise removing the gearcase first which will also remove the agitator shaft. Eric
