Inner tub removal problems

Please help!! I have been trying to remove the inner tub from my old Frigidaire washing machine and have removed the trunnion block mounting bolts. I have removed to the best possibility the old crud that was there and I'm unable to pull up the tub. Should I remove the 5 screws that are there? There is a video on youtube that I have been following but they are using a new washing machine for demo and the tub comes out so easily. Hoping you can help!

Yes, you have to remove the 5 bolts underneath the agitator.

Thank you, I was able to remove the tub, but, I'm still unable to remove the trunnion that was attached to the tub to get to the upper spin bearing which is what I need to replace. The trunnion is soooo tight, I have applied plenty of penetrating fluid and am still struggling. What else can I possibly do to get this out?

Sometimes because of corrosion the only way to get things apart is to break something to get it apart.
