Default Maytag clothes Washer Won't Spin

Ever since the water backed up & overflowed it with clothes in it, it
will Not spin!

Not much room however, I believe a piece of clothing overflowed
between the inner spin basket & the outer basket.
It makes a load noise & the belts appear to slip. It is like the
basket locks up & will not even begin to spin now, as it got worse.

How big a job is it to remove the inner basket, my hands are severely
messed up with carpal tunnel & I can not do much of anything!
Could a wire be fixed with a hook to fish the piece of clothing out?
What would you do? Could replacing the pump & main drive belts help? -

I may cause added carpal miseries but I am going to try to pull the
agitator & remove the inner basket.

(So far, though I used the prescribed method, I cannot get the agitator
pulled!) Any ideas?

I have always fixed everything that needed repair-work, can't stop now.
I know the outer basket needs cleaning & then I can remove any clothing
in there.
I also intend to buy new belts as I know the old belts are badly worn.
