The agitator on my washing machine spins freely, leading me to believe the agitator or the bell is worn. However I cannot
remove the agitator to find out which part is required. What is the proceedure for removing the agitator? The model # is
VBXR1060T5WB.

On my machine which is similar to yours .. model VBXR1060T5AB.. there is no bolt below the fabric softener cap and the agitator simply slides down and pops into place.. one article suggested running a rope under the agitator and up and over a piece of 2-by-4 and using the leverage of the wood to pull the agitator up.. I was able to pull it up and off with my hands without the rope trick but some may be harder..
