    Help me get this basket out of the washer tub

    I took apart an old washer and would like to save the metal basket. I've removed all of the fasteners. I even bought a $12 spanner wrench to get off the nut on top of the shaft.



    I can't get the basket separated from the outer tub. If anyone has some tips I'd like to hear.

    I tried cutting the plastic outer tub with metal shears but that will kill my hands. I don't think there's enough clearance for a reciprocating saw blade.

    The metal shaft is still in there. The whole thing has about ~1-2 inches of play. Maybe I need a wheel puller to get it out? Or drive it out from inside the tub?










    Thanks
