Agitator not turning
I pried the cap off with a screw driver. I then used a socket wrench to take the bolt off inside the agitator cavity. A quick tug upward and the whole agitator unit came off. I assembled the new kit per instructions and replaced the old one. I reassembled everything in reverse. Everything works like new.

The agitator quit working.
I originally thought that gears in the 'transmission' were slipping. When I applied pressure, not much, the agitator turned. I went out and bought a new machine. When I removed the old one my mechanic friend said "just pull this cover off and you will see the problem." Sure enough, the actual fix time was about 15 minutes with 45 minutes cleaning the dust and dirt out of the machine from it sitting on the back porch for 9 months.

Replace dog ears that were deteriorated
This repair would have taken only about 15 minutes but my husband didn't pay attention to how the agitator and parts came apart. And because he had had a cocktail, couldn't quite figure out how to put it back together. Luckily, I had printed out an exploded view of the agitator so was able to put it back together myself. Moral of the story, don't let your husband drink while doing repairs :), and make sure to pay attention how you take it apart. The diagram was "generic" so not everything was exactly the same, but it was close enough to figure out.

Top agitator did not catch
After taking the agitator cover off with a thin flat screwdriver, i unbolted the agitator, took the top agitator off and put the new dogs in the new cam. One minor problem: due to the age, the rubber washer around the bolt fell apart. Had to make an unexpected trip to the hardware store, but no biggie. Unbolting the agitator was a bit of a challenge by myself, as I had to put significant force to the nut while holding the agitator from spinning. Once i got it loose, came right up and out. When reinstalling, you have to watch to make sure the dogs don't fall out of the cam, but after a couple tries, it went on, got tight, and no problems. Now its running great.

Pulled the agitator out and flipped the agitator upside down, then pulled the rest of the guts out of the agitator, togges and all.Put the repair kit in the agitator and then went in reverse of pulling the agitator.

Top half of the agitator failed to turn when washer was on, it just spun freely
I removed the fabric sofner dispenser, then removed the cap on the top of the agitator housing. I then removed the agitator retention bolt with a 3/8 drive craftsman ratchet , a craftsman half inch socket and 10 inch extension. I removed the broken pawls inside the agitator as they had crumbled from age and replaced the old items with the new items in the agitator repair kit and reassembled everything just reversing the steps.

Used a short plain screwdriver to remove plastic cap.
Used a 3/8 drive ratchet with an extension and a 7/16 socket to remove bolt. Lifted up and removed agitator. Sat agitator on a rag,as there Is a little grease.I put my feet on the bottom agitator and pulled up. Had to kind of pull and jerk as the top part of agitator came apart harder than expected.

Auger failed to rotate during wash cycle
The "dogs" were worn out; I used a socket and extension to remove the auger, then replaced the thrust spacer, auger-agitator along with the repair kit.
The most common culprit which wears out is usually the cam dogs. When you hear a grinding sound with the machine under a load, it usually means the dogs are not grabbing properly. If you see that the agitator isn't rotating, you will need to replace the nylon dogs. In most cases, the old auger will likely be in good shape, so it's important to check the teeth where the cam dogs make contact before ordering the parts.
