Rachele, If the agitator will not come off after removing the bolt down in the center of it, try taking a rope and slide it under the agitator and use leverage to wiggle it off.

Ed, "do I have to prop upside down to complete" wouldn't work anyway. You may want to try and hold the agitator stationary at the bottom and turn the agitator bolt counterclockwise. If that doesn't work, you can use a "Dremel" or saw and cut the agitator off of the agitator shaft, then check and clean the splines on the metal agitator shaft.

Hello Paul. No, usually the splines do not go bad. As for the dogs, they have 3 teeth on them.

Dennis, A "one piece" agitator WP63235 does not have dogs, If your agitator is Slipping on the agitator shaft, you will need to replace it. The "splines" are stripped and worn allowing the shaft to rotate inside the agitator assembly. You'll need to carefully force the center cap up and off the agitator, with a screwdriver, remove the 7/16" hex bolt, and lift the agitator off the shaft, clean all the debris off the shaft, and reverse the procedure..
