Jut finished replacing my wash plate and it was stuck on good. Used your process but ended up putting a socket on the center bolt and hitting it with the air hammer, that did the trick for me. Hopefully this will help someone else get theirs off. Thanks for the video.
That's just like using an impact wrench on it like I did luckily mine wasn't broke and the bolt was just loose! But man was it scummy and dirty under there like I said it took me longer to clean it up than it did put it back together works fine now Of course I used a shitload of thread lock on it
I just did this EXACT procedure...and had the same results!!! Those airbags are very strong I've found. Anywhoo...just waiting on the new part (spline's were entirely gone). I'm going to drive that back in and see what happens....wish me luck!
@@foreverendeavors6210Well re-seated mine and no issues but I did find that although the plastic part I just replaced now has good splines the metal shaft seems to be almost stripped as well. Geez...decision time lol....
I've seen the shaft come out before when I worked for sears. Was just trying to change a hub and couldn't get the wash plate off. I wouldn't hit it with the metal hammer lol
Hello. OK, FOllow the bouncing ball here, this is not that difficult. FIrt, remember the splines that connect the wash plate to the transmission are tapered! Prying up on ANY side of the plate only makes things worse since it pinches the splines together and all manner of yankiing on the edges simply tightens the two splines even more! Here is the best way that worked perectly for me: First, once you remove the center bolt, pour either heated white vinegar or a good spray of BLASTER around the bolt hole making certain it gets into the splie area. Let that soak in for at least an hour. Next, gently tap all around the center collar of the plate including tapping both sides of each impeller vane. NOT TOO HARD, just enough to break any corrosion between the two splie parts...make and female. Probably should NOT hit down onto where the bolt was...that will only further jam the splines together. Not doo. Now, take a GOOD pair of channel locks, tightly grip anywhere around the top edge of the bolt collar (the raised circle that surrounds the bolt), and yank up. Voila, it should come right out but make certain you pull it STRAIGHT UP and not torqued to one side of the other. All the other methods only worked againsT you. And when you are ready to replace the impeller or wash plate, make certain you take a good brass brush and clean out the splines as much as you can to remove any loose corrosion. Take a tooth brush soaked in blaster or WD40 to clean out the inside of the plate spines. Then, coat both splines with a good Anti Seize lubricant (Permatex is a good choice in the gray tube). Replace the wash plate or agitator and exercise up and down gently to evenly better distribute the lubricant. You are done. Relplace the bolt with the BLUE Lock Tite lubricant. Now if you need to remove it at a future date, repeating the above provess will allow the plate to be removed easily if even you need to do that. And no, the lube will not stain your clothes. It is fully encapsulated by the tight fit of the two splices. Enjoy.. Dr. Z (Lou)
Shit I couldn't get mine off no matter how I tried get that drum from not turning ? I used impact wrench came right off without putting a brake on anything ! I thought the splines would be broke but they were not they were in good shape The only thing that was wrong is the bolt had come loose ? Cleaned it all up It was messy under that wash plate real messy ! Took me longer to clean it up than it did to put it back together, after that I hit the impact wrench hit it a couple times it tightened right down Now it works like a charm ! However if the splines are broke then you're screwed
@rickpausan I don't have a system, I have a method.. 😆, and the whole video was how when it "failed," I made it work anyway 🤪. "It's not how many times you get knocked down in life. It is how many times you keep getting back up and keep fighting," Rocky 💪..

Still using this one, so far so good.

Little never seize on the spline before installing. Easy out

I managed to get my agitator plate off but the spleen didn't come off the transmission with it. How to I get the off?
@@Twerp70 I had that happen before. An automotive jaw puller works
@@foreverendeavors6210 thanks
I literally torn my in pieces and chisel it out lol , tried citrus acid soak but didn’t work
@@rivera75nesto some of these are truly big stuck!
Did it work? For long.
Still using it.
Good video, thanks.
Just had the same issue. Is the shaft still in place?
Still using it, no issues.
Nitrile gloves brother 7 to 9mil
That’s not a snap on bike or motor cycle tool it’s a snap on brake drum adjuster spoon
wow
this just breaks the washer
your system is a failure
