Agitator (Complete)

This washer is 17 years old. The whole assembly didn't cost that much more than the parts I needed so I decided to replace the whole agitator assembly not just the dog ear assembly. The video on part select were helpful. I removed the fabric softener dispenser. Reached in and removed the cap barrier with seal. Did this by hand, needle nos ... Read more e pliers were not necessary. Remove the retaining bolt using a 7/16 socket wrench with a 8" extension. Reach in and grab the bottom of the lower agitator and pull the whole assembly straight up out of the washer. I assembled the new parts placing the thrust spacer on top of the agitator. I placed the preassembled cam with dog ears and bearing down into the bottom of the clothes mover. I placed the clothes mover onto the agitator making sure the cam assembly lined up with the thrust spacer properly before I snapped the clothes mover in place. This was the most difficult part of the assembly but was still easy I placed this assembly over the drive shaft of the washer and re-attached the retaining screw and washer. I coated the seal of the barrier cap with liquid detergent and placed it into the clothes mover. Snapped the fabric softener dispenser. Done, works great. It took longer for me to write this than it did to fix the washer.
