      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

Manual says to just pop up the agitator then take out a bolt.  I thought it was the other way around.  I've tried pulling up from the bottom.  Pulling up from the top part (thought maybe it came up in two piecies).  No luck.  Don't want to break it.  Tappedal with a rubber mallet too.  No luck.  There's a plastic shield over the center of the agitator.  See no way to remove that.  Already removed the dispenser cap,

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks but it won't pull out by hand.

Next would be straps and then air bags.

Thanks.  I got the agitator off using a ratchet strap and a board and tapping it with a rubber mallet.  I remove the 7/16" bolt but the block wont come off.

Scrap and wire brush then penitrating oil. Last resort is a cold chisel.

I got the 1 11/16" nut off.  The instructions say the spin basket should just lift out......but it won't.   Any tips?
