Aghk !!! Washer Repair Problems !!!?

OK . . I have a Whirlpool, Ultimate Care II, Quiet Wash, Washer, Model# LSQ8543JQ0

The Agitator Cams are worn out and Auger is no longer turning.

Parts or replacement kit are dirt cheap . .good thing

Seems like an easy enough fix . . however . . cam assembly doesn't seem to want to come out of the auger, and the auger is still attached to the agitator, although it spins freely. So there appears to be something pressed in place there,

Does anyone know how to remove that Cam assembly . . every thing I am reading about it, is that it should just come apart. But That's not happening here.

Thanks in Advance

    Try whilpool's web site, you may be able to get a free downloadable instructions and pictures.

    They can help with what tools are recommended by the experts on repairing it correctly.

    Possibly it is ac clamp holding it. It allows it to spin freely, but keep it in place so it can move in and out.
