I successfully removed the agitator, but cannot separate the upper agitator from the lower agitator. I’ve tried to step on it and it just won’t pop off. It’s been soaking in hot water for 7 hours and still won’t pop off. Any other suggestions? I need to replace the dogs.
Here are your parts

It does not show the dogs as a seperate item so i think that the agitator does not come apart and has to be replaced as an assembly.

It appears that this assembly comes in two parts per the description. Is there some way I can verify this? I don’t want to damage it trying to pop off the top part, but it’s just not coming loose.
Description
This top load washer agitator assembly includes both the upper and lower parts of the agitator.

I have this same washer (MAV6300AWW) and did get the lower and upper agitators apart. However I also found a 1 inch piece of broken plastic (cylindrical - sort of made up of concentric circular disks about 1/4 inch in diameter). I assume that this is part of one of the "dogs". Should I be concerned about this and if so can the "dogs" be replaced? Washer seems to be operating fine for now. Thanks!
