Blender Blender Coupling WP9704230

used 2oz. gasket hammer tapped drive coupler clockwise and ,
R&R coupler.

I should have watched the video, and/or splurged and bought the little wrench to hold the motor shaft. To be clear, the video has you use a flat-head screw driver to PRY the old coupler off the threaded motor shaft - not to unscrew it. You might be able to unscrew it (particularly if you have the wrench), but my coupler would not unscrew ... Read more even after I used penetrating oil. Eventually, I used a pair of vice grips to pry it off - somewhat similar to the method employed in the video. I thought I would strip the threads on the shaft, but I did not. Then I simply screwed on (counter-clockwise) the new coupler and the blender is as good as ever.

followed on line instructions. Real easy to do. Now I have my blender back.

Use the purpose made wrench to hold the drive shaft while unscrewing the broken coupler from the drive shaft. The shaft has a left hand thread, so turn the coupler clockwise to remove it from the drive shaft. Then screw the new coupler onto the drive shaft, turning it counter-clockwise. That's it!

Because the old coupling was so tightly screwed onto the shaft it was necessary to use very flat wire crimpers to slide between the old coupling and the blender housing to grip the shaft and immobilize it while pliers were used to grasp the old coupling and loosen it---rotate clockwise.

A 5/16" thin wrench fits the shaft beneath the coupling. The shaft has a flat side on it. The coupling comes of easily turning clock-wise for the reverse threads..

I repaired it as per instructions provided by using a flat head screwdriver to pry the original off.

I used a straight edge screwdriver. At first my husband and I were afraid to much too much force behind the old coupling, but I figured it's no good the way it was so used more force and "pop" it came off. Then installed the new one and I love my blender!!

I tried turning defective coupler off after inserting a narrow screw driver into the motor fan bladed. That did not work. I then used a wide bladed flat-head screw driver to pry the defective coupler disc off the motor shaft. After prying each side over and over, the old coupler base broke free. I cleaned the remnants of the base from the ... Read more threaded shaft and then screwed the new coupler on only finger tight. It went on easily. For less than $15.00 (including shipping) we now have a working blender that hopefully will last another 10 years.

Simply followed the online video instructions. Screwdriver to remove the worn out part. Rag to clean threads. Hand tighten replacement part (reverse threads). Blender fully functional. Couldn't have been easier.
