How to remove top half of agitator

How do I remove the top half of the agitator? I removed the bolt going to the spindle. and took the whole agitator out. Now I need to remove the top half so that I can change out the dog ears that are worn out? How does it come apart? don’t want to break the parts I’ve removed?

I ordered and received Part No. WPL 285811… not sure if it’s the right repair parts or not??? I don’t know how to remove the top half of the agitator assembly to get to the parts I need to replace?

Well, believe it or not the thing pulls apart. Your problem is that gunk from fabric softener, dirt, detergent and whatever has gotten in their. You have several choices. You can exert a lot of force and try to pull it apart, or you can soak it in a bucket of very hot water for as long as it take to loosen up.
