HELP! I need to know how to remove the Retainer from the agitator/cam-drive. What tool do I use? How do I do it? The normal bolt using 7/16 drive is on different models. The cam drive is right below the cap and connected to the lower agitator by a two way bolt. Do I need a special tool to remove the cam or is it something simple? PLEASE HELP!
You have to use a 1/2" socket wrench extension to remove the retainer.

You are the best Gene! It is that simple; now I just have to find a 1/2" extension to use. I thought that would do it but I was not sure…wanted confirmation before I broke something. I am also perplexed that I could not find this particular video. I have looking at videos for two hours! UGH! But you made it happen! Thanks Gene!!! Again, now I have to see if I have and extention.
You are welcome. Keep us posted.

hello gene…
i am having problems removing the retainer…with the socket extension inserted, the retainer spins freely in both directions even while holding the lower agitator…any ideas??
Hello,
This retainer made of plastic. Probably the thread is broken. I would try to drill it out.

[COLOR=blue]i was able to unscrew the retainer by lifting & holding the top agitator…the retainer was re-installed the same way…

Were you able to fix the original problem?
