Its possible but difficult. You will need to drill a small hole down the middle of the snapped off bolt and use a correct size "easyout" which is a special reverse threaded stud which goes into the hole and unscrews the snapped off bolt.

SOURCE: my drive shaft broke inside the transmission! no room to extract

Someone used to make a tool for that but I can't remember who...You might be able to get it out by making a loop on the end of a piece of stiff wire (coathanger?) and using a snare loop using stainless tie wire. put the tie wire through the loop in the stiff wire...guide the loop of tie wire around the stub of the axle, pull the stainless wire tight and pull on it.

SOURCE: Porsche 944 drive shaft torx key bolts

I ran into a similar problem when working on the bolts that hold the 4 piston calipers together on my BMW 2002Tii, that the Torx was too small and rounding off the inside edges of the bolt head. Being unable to find a bit that was between the x5 and next size up x0 torx, I decided to consult an expert. After going to the service department of my local dealership and talking to some of the older and more knowledgeable guys, we determined that the easiest fix is to take a cheap torx bit and grind down the tip of it so the bit engages a little bit more, since the bit tapers towards the end this would give much more of a positive engagement. Worked great after 3 minutes on a belt sander.

SOURCE: Broken agitator

If the main shaft were broken, the entire agitator assembly would come out. Usually, there is a plastic adapter that goes from the shaft to the interior of the agitator and is splined to mate with the shaft. A bolt commonly holds the two together, but usually has an uncommon drive head. There may be a removable plastic cap that either unscrews or just pulls off. Hope this helps!

How to stop the agitator from turning as I try to unscrew it

To stop the agitator from turning as you try to unscrew it on a Simpson Enduro 801 washing machine, you will need to first unplug the machine from the wall outlet. This will ensure that the motor is not running and the agitator is not turning.
Next, you can try using a pair of pliers or a wrench to hold the agitator in place while you unscrew it. Simply grip the agitator firmly and apply enough pressure to keep it from turning as you loosen the screws.
If the agitator is still turning or you are having trouble keeping it in place, you may need to apply additional leverage. One way to do this is to use a piece of wood or other flat object to act as a lever against the side of the agitator. This will help to keep the agitator from turning as you loosen the screws.

One of the shoelace managed to stuck down the agitator. Even though I took the bolt in the middle out, I still couldn't take the agitator out.

With the bolt out the agitator should just pull up and out. Sometimes they are stuck on the shaft & you have to pull and try to move side to side to get them off. On a few occasions I have struck some that some fool has super glued them on to the shaft. In those cases I have had to break the agitator and install a new one. Just cut the shoe lace. It should be okay.

Simpson ezi loader

Hi,

The bearings are pre-loaded with grease but a smear of lithium grease can be used to ease fitting into the spider.The howling could be possibly because of the drum bearings.If your machine is making a rumbling noise as the drum turns then you most likely have an issue with the drum bearings. It's possible that normal use can allow water to get to the bearings. Remove the washing machine belt and manually turn the drum. If you hear a rumble as you turn the drum then problem is the ball bearings. Remove and replace them with new ones.Not knowing if your Simpson is a direct drive through a multi -speed gear box or another method, that makes it hard to give you a definitive answer. In my experience with earlier Simpson Washing machines the agitator should lift off the Splined shaft in the bowl by gripping the bottom of the agitator on the bottom edge using both hands at 180o between them, basically one opposite the other and trying to lift the agitator off vertically straight up until it clears the splined shaft and above the top lip of the bowl at which time you can remove it from the bowl. Be careful it doesn't give way suddenly as you maybe leaning over the bowl and with the force you sometimes have to exert it might come up and strike you hard around your facial region. If the agitator either has never been lifted off or a long period of time since it was then you may have to "wiggle" the agitator whilst attempting to lift the thing of the drive shaft. Once you have removed the agitator clean and re grease the splined drive shaft with suitable grease, not too much only a smear as too much will melt and leach into the bowl and hence you'll have greasy marks on the washing. Clean out the female splined section of the agitator and again a thin film of grease should be rubbed on the female splines. Replace the agitator on the shaft and make sure it's fully the length of the shaft as it will ride up and attempt to come of the drive shaft whilst the machine is operating if it's not seated correctly. If you think there are / is foreign objects beneath the agitator that seldom happens but sometimes it can with small articles. The problem of noisy agitators can be caused by worn bearings in the drive gear box which in turn allows the agitator to move sideways a bit and that then can grind on the bottom of the bowl under the agitator or even allow a small piece of cloth to get under the agitator etc. I doubt the unit would be driven by a belt directly connected to another pulley on the agitator but only a sub bowl inspection can prove that. I've never come across a Simpson that doesn't have a 2 speed direct drive gear box for the agitator and the spin dryer.

Note:- if you aren't sure about the greasing i would recommend you to contact the company's technician.

Hope this solves your problem.Please rate me if it helped you.

Our agitator on the Simpson esprit450, keeps slowly coming loose after we tighten the bolt using an extension, does it need a washer under the bolt or a new agitator ????

Hi just read your posting.1st thing to do is to undo the screw holding the agitator to the shaft and lift the agitator out.Then purchase some Loctite thread lock from you local hardware store.Put some thread lock on the thread of the bolt and re screw the agitator back in place.Leave the machine for 24 hours and this will fix you problem.I use this method when I am repairing machines for customers.Please reply if you need further help and also to let me know how you got on.Good luck and hear from you soon.
