first try to lift it off. that probably wont work so dont waste too much time and effort trying to it.(and you'll hurt your back) In my laundromat I used a rubber bladder shaped like a donut with a small gap in it. It's designed to be slid under the agitator and then filled with water slowly until the agitator pops up and off. Its available at appliance parts stores and it has worked every time I've used it. great little invention!

∙ 11y agoYou haven't said what machine - so that makes it impossible to give an exact answer. Some have a cap on top with a large nut underneath. Undo the nut. Some will simply twist off, others can be unclipped from the bottom.
Please give complete info when you need a technical answer.

How do you remove the cam agitator on whirlpool washer?
From: http://www.fixya.com/support/t1942223-one_part_agitator_moves_other_part Remove Dispenser or Cap: Some models of washing machines utilize a fabric softener dispenser that resides on top of the agitator. This dispenser simply snaps onto the top of the agitator. Other styles utilize a decorative cap. To remove the dispenser, simply grab it and firmly pull up. To remove the agitator cap, insert a small flat-head screw driver into the seam between the agitator cap and the upper agitator (mover). Use a twisting or prying action to pop the cap off of the agitator. Remove Internal Debris Cap: Inside the agitator you will see a cap with a raised handle, much like that of your automobile. Simply reach into the agitator and twist the cap while pulling up. This will remove the cap and its o-ring. Remove Agitator Stud: When looking into the agitator assembly, you will notice a single nut in the center of the agitator. Use a socket kit or nut driver to remove this bolt (agitator stud). Remove the Upper Agitator (Mover): With the bolt removed you should be able to remove the upper half of the agitator (mover) by simply pulling up. Sometimes pulling up will actually remove the whole agitator assembly. If this happens, place the Lower Agitator on the floor and stand on the flat lip. Then Pull up to separate the Upper Agitator (mover) from the Lower Agitator. Remove the Cam and Clutch Dogs: When you remove the upper agitator (mover) it contains the cam and clutch dogs. Tun the assembly upside down. The cam and dogs should then come out.

The agitator is part on a washer. It is driven by a couple of different methods. The first is that the agitator is splined (grooves that are cut into the metal) and they slip onto the matching splines of the agitator shaft from the transmission. The second is the use of a bell coupling which is splined to the agitator shaft as well and the agitator snaps onto the coupling.
