FYI... I was able to get a 7/8 socket on the drive knob and hold the blade with another tool, loosened up easily. Thank you for your video, it helped alot.
Im struggling with this myself at the moment. The teeth on the couplers (both sides) wore out and I just cant seem to get the old coupler off of the pitcher side. Im marring the hell out of the blades trying to keep them immobile and keep slipping off of the coupler while trying to turn it clockwise. I'm going to end up needing new blades if I can even manage to get the coupler off. What a pain in the ass!
Yeah, that sucks. I think I would fill the pitcher with small rocks or something to immobilize the blades, then a good strong pair of vice grips on the coupler and turn righty-loosey. Since I destroyed my pitcher we ended up getting a vita mix from Costco. They seem to understand how to make something that is user serviceable.
@@gregholmberg2 I was going to make a gasket from automotive gasket material, that's all I needed. My pitcher was destroyed, so I'm not sure where you can get parts, I never dug into it
@@billhawkins6959 I took mine apart because the large plastic nut was already loose and the gasket was leaking. From what I remember, it was standard "lefty loosey" to remove it. Some people have commented that it is very tight.
Well I was able to get the blades off thanks to your video, but the plastic nuts on top and bottom are super tight.
Thanks for helping everyone out.
Very helpful sir! Thanks for your generosity in recording this even after yours is lost. You are a great guy!
Thank you. Got mine apart without breaking it because of you
Thanks for the info. Now to find a replacement gasket.

OK, but where do I find replacement parts? I've googled, I can't find them.

I got the rubber drive off but is the plastic nut right turn off the same?

Thank you!
Thanks!
This worked!
Thank you for this…. You may have saved me from having to buy a new pitcher.
I hope you can fix it! I couldn't find that info anywhere.... It'll be tricky to hold the blades in place while still in the pitcher. 😆
