though it says i'd need a spanner nut removal tool - is that what you meant i would need to improvise? it looks like a piece of cake to me, but i've been wrong before
... and it's ultimately not my washer.
The tricky part is stopping the agitator from turning when you undo the bolt. I think I jammed a screwdriver into the drive mechanism underneath the washer. There is probably a method of doing it correctly but I'm not aware of it.
Watch the agitator clutch mechanism on your machine. I didn't have one on my machine and it could be tricky to reassemble. Study how it goes together before disassembling.
oy. ....that should be interesting.
impro-ing a tool is to enable you to get under the agitator without removing it something like a flexible ruler might work. Just don't break it while you are under there.
To remove the agitator you will need a socket set. You may need a longer extension.

Then you've been using a lot of Sears Kenmore washers. They are the only brand that consistantly has them in residential machines.
There is an entire after-market filter industry because of this very issue.
i may have to improvise those, too...
So far My opinion is you should wait for the repair man. This opinion may of course be coloured by the fact that you (dont) have underwire in your bra.
Men all know for a fact that the bigger the boobs the smaller the brain.
:wink:
how did you know? i am, in fact, wearing the culprit bra sans underwires.
but hey, anyone can fix stuff by calling a repairman. i once replaced the power motor on the car window. sure it took all day, but hey. i have something to tell my grandchildren. wait, i don't have any. damn.
