followed instruction, prying off old coupling and screwed new coupling on less than 5 minutes. Parts came in a timely manner. great service, satisfied customer

Since the coupling is threaded, it can be easily screwed on and off if you immobilize the shaft. If you don't have a tool that can do this (the space between the drive coupling and the body of the blender is only about 1/8"), you can insert a long bladed screwdriver into the vents on the bottom of the blender and into the motor. When yo ... Read more u turn the coupling, the motor won't rotate and you can easily screw off the coupling (the threads are reversed, so turn the opposite way). Good luck!

I looked on the Web for help in changing this part they suggested prying the part off with a screwdriver. This would work but I figured this approach was a little to brutal.I had a set of distributor wrenches and these had one that fit the shaft under the drive coupling Using the wrench to hold the shaft I used a small set of water pump p ... Read more liers to remove the coupling.As the directions on the Web states this is a reverse thread.The whole project took all of five minutes to complete

Hammer was used to remove the old one, tapping quickly on old coupling. I did use a thin pliers (wire stripper) to hold shaft when I screwed on new coupling, even though it said one did not need to. Good instruction sheet came with the new coupling.

The part comes with instructions on how to replace the coupling. The instruction basically says to pry out the worn coupling. This is exactly what you should do. It might sound strange or brute force but it actually works. The coupling is actually made of some soft metal that comes out easily. The only downside is that you have to clean ... Read more up the leftover metal bits. You don't need to find a slim wrench for the motor spindle as suggested by other in the thread ..... just follow the instruction pry out the old coupling.

popped off the old one, popped on the new one. could not have been any easier. :)

Followed the video you sent removing the old drive coupling. Installed the new part according to instructions. I found I did not need to order the seal. I am a do it yourselfer and have never had such a good experience.

I utilized the "pound the coupling in a clockwise direction" to loosen the coupling. Two good "wackes" and it was loose. Installed new coupling. I found this method in the previous customer installation instructions on the site. Please note that my new part number is ps401661. This part works normally even though my model number ... Read more did not list a part number, perhaps because my blender is an older model. Without the installation instructions site I would not have known that the thread was a "reverse thread". This site is very helpful. Good luck

Just took a screwdriver and pried off the broken coupling as the instruction said with the part. Don't stress it really works and is easy. Ordered the part on Monday and recieved it on Tuesday. Great service from Partselect!
