Hello, and thank you for using this service. I'll be helping you with your problem today.

When the bottom still works, it just means that the agitator dogs are striped out. You need to order part number 80040 and below is a link to a video that shows you how to replace this kit.

It should just pull apart if you pull on it, but if not then you may need to pry on the locking tabs. Below is another video that sort of shows how.
