Once you have raised the top deck, removed the agitator the inner bowl will just pull up & out. If it comes up a bit but sticks this will be because of soap scum build up on the slines of the shaft. Just push bowl back down & try again. Sometimes necessary to repeat this up down movement several times until bowl comes out. You don't have to remove the cover under the agitator which has 4 screws holding it. That will come off with the bowl intact.
