My husband just took the bolt in the middle took the broken one, put the new one, put the bolt back the lid the rubber seal and done. Working like new.
Basically we did what everyone else did with this part, it help me realize I did not need to call a repairman for this, I knew hubby would be able to do this.

Had to replace the agitator
I already had the old agitator out, so when I got the new one I put it in the tub. You have to spin it a little so it seats properly. I then tightened the bolt with a 7/16” socket and my wife was washing a load within 15 minutes

Agitator began skipping and not moving through part of turn
Remove dispenser and barrier cap by hand to access cam assembly. Unbolted agitator assembly and pulled up firmly.
Able to access and replace cams. Before pulling out note how assembled and make sure to put back exactly the same. Singe person using this machine for 8 years. Poor design or quality of cams to fail so soon. Family of 5 would have been through this in a few years. For only 15 dollars definitely worthwhile repair. Parts arrived in days.

Top section of agitator was slipping.
I ordered the new cogs but didn't want to wait the few days for them to arrive. So I decided to try and temporarily repair the old ones. After looking at the picture of the new ones on this site I realized that the teeth were just worn down. I took all four of them out and used a grinding disc to carve the teeth down deeper. They were not perfect. (I would recommend holding the teeth with a vise.) However, after reinstalling the cogs the machine worked perfect and that was two weeks ago. I'm not going to install the new ones until I have to.

Unscrewed nylon fitting and removed top half of agitator. Replaced directional cogs/dog ears and put agitater back together. Works like new. Easy fix.

Washer not agitating
Washer was not agitating. My husband did not have a clue what to look for, but he took it apart and noticed two of the four directional cogs were stripped. Did an internet search and found the part on your website and thought we would give it a try since the part/shipping was under $20. The parts came in three days and my washer lives on. Was ready to get a new one since it is 18 years old, but I will not wait. Excellent website with all instructions and parts breakdown of the washer.
