This took me ages, the 1 advice that i found on a forum that made it super easy, and is not mentioned in this guide, is that the purpose of hitting the coupler is not the to create force to losen it, its to make coupler outspin the engine. Once i did that it came off in just a few tries.
for the model that I had (Bosch VitaBoost MMBH6P6B) , I had to spin it counter clock-wise to loosen it. The principle is the same. Thanks for the instructions!
i coud not take the coupler out by hitting it with a hammer and crew driver so i Bill Weir's method i removed the bottom cover (4 screws) and you will see a fan, at the center of the fan you will see what looks like the head of a screw with a slot that is the shaft that goes from the fan up to the coupler, my son put a flat screw driver on the slot in the middle of the fan to keep the coupler from turning i turned the coupler to the right with channel lock pliers to remove it. i also replaced the gear under the cup, i put on a leather glove got a thick towel I and doubled it put it inside the cup and held the blade my son turned the gear to the right (we where facing each other) with the pliers and in 5 seconds we where done.
Is the blade replaceable, or do you have to buy a whole new pitcher? The part of mine that fits into the coupler is also stripped. But when I tried to remove it from the pitcher I couldn't. I can loosen it, but I can't get it out. Because both the blade and coupler are stripped, the blade comes loose while blending and the contents leaks out the bottom of the pitcher.
It worked for me this time, thanks. It's not easy, you need a quick tap in order to take advantage of rotor inertia. but no too hard to avoid breaking. I put electrical tape on flat driver head to protect coupling. I think somehow wood stick would work better.
Or, if the coupler is fused to the shaft like mine was, do it the hard way. Remove the bottom, cut the top of the coupler off so that the motor can be removed, remove the screws that hold the motor in place. Remove the motor, remove the cooling fan and place the shaft in a vice. Now, simply remove whats left of the coupler with a pair of channel locks remembering the left handed threads. Re assemble and screw on the new coupler as the video shows.
I have this blender and it still works great but the coupler and the drive coupler attached to cup, are both badly stripped. I'm having a very difficult time finding this style replacement coupler, is there an alternative solution?
In general these motors are replaced not repaired. You could get lucky and find a loose/bad connection when you take it out, but that is pretty slim. You can go to our web site and enter your model number to find the correct replacement motor.
I have to be honest and say I was sceptical when I lined up my screwdriver and hammer, but it actually worked! So greateful to you for this video. Thank you very much. P.S. the blender I did this on was a Magimix Le Blender.
Alondra Villanueva I cannot answer as you have the reply feature off. I have heard that in certain styles you may have to take the bottom of the blender off and hold the motor from spinning while you take the coupler off.
I broke the the lip off the coupling with a flat head screwdriver. I cleaned up the rim of the coupling so it was clean. Take off the bottom by removing the screws under the rubber pads. Unclip the two electrical clips coming from the motor. Remove the two lower motor support screws. With the lip removed the motor will come out. Grasp the coupling with channel locks. Turn clockwise with a flat head screwdriver the shaft at the other end. It's hard but it comes free. Hope this helps.
I recently got the coupler because I saw this video and thought it was going to be easy to remove but I've tried so many times and I still can't. Is there another way of taking it off or am I just doing something wrong because the coupler seems to spin both directions
Remove the bottom of the blender and lock vise grips on the tip of the shaft where it comes through the fan. Then use large curved jaw vise grips or channel locks on the coupler. The procedure illustrated apparently only works for brand new blenders that haven't had the coupler tightened down by repeated spinning against a load combined with vibration.
I have a KitchenAid Classic 5-Speed Blender Product Code: PRD32066. When I turn on, light turns on in the nos but the coupler doesn't move so how do I know if the issue is with the coupler or the motor??
Excellent video - hitting the coupler did not help me so I open the bottom part and, while blocking the motor with one hand, used pliers on the coupler it went easily out !
I have that model of blender, but my problem is that it seems to leak from the blade shaft itself in the canister ... been leaking since day one now it is getting worse, any sort of fix I can do? if not I am just going to get a new blender.
BMan100 Not sure how old it is but if its under warranty I would contact the manufacturer. The whole pitcher is sold as an assembly so you can enter your model number on our website to view the parts breakdown. If it is not under warranty or you don not want a new pitcher you would have to replace the unit.
G,Day. I have a Breville blender and it has been working well. Now it just goes for a short while then stops. can I repair it or should I just get a new one. Thanks Mate. Bob
Robert Sanders We do not sell parts for that brand, I would start with finding out what they sell as far as parts go. Then you can decide if its worth fixing!

hello, my blender kitchenaid ksb755ca when I put something to liquefy not strong enough pieces well and are not liquefy, what can be the coupling or the part that goes into the coupling?
yair trinidad If the coupler is not worn or damaged it could be a motor issue. You can post the problem along with the appliance model and serial number on our repair forum. The techs can help you troubleshoot the problem.
You should have explained further how to remove the coupler when your method fails to work. Remove the bottom and using a slot screwdriver on the other end of the shaft and vice grips carefully snapped onto the coupler, turn the coupler clock wise and it will come off. You don't have to break anything. Just use good quality tools. And you may need a second set of hands to hold the base of the blender steady.
The coupler on my KitchenAid Model KSB560CU0 spins both clockwise and counterclockwise, therefore this technique will not work. Is there another method for this model, or does this mean there are additional problems?
Counter clockwise is the way that will turn the blender and clockwise is the way to unscrew the coupler. I've had luck removing it by pressing down on either side of the coupler with my thumbs and sort of flipping it to spin it quickly clockwise, though it may take a few tries. If that doesn't work, in certain styles you may have to take the bottom of the blender off and hold the shaft to keep the motor from spinning while you take the coupler off. If this doesn't work and you need additional help with the repair, you can give us a call at 1-877-477-7278 or you can chat us at our website: www.appliancepartspros.com/.

Hi there--I have a kitchendaid blender--Model #KSB560MC0 Problem--the black nut(just above the drive coupler) on the pitcher--keeps coming lose when using the machine--causing the pitcher to leak--why? how to fix!
This process did not work for me. I had to remove the bottom piece, remove the fan and hold the drive shaft with a pair of locking pliers. At that point I was able to unscrew the coupler using a pair of channel lock pliers.
@@appliancepartspros Kitchenaid SB15700B. I ended up sawing the coupler to metal and spraying Triflow to loosen it. I guess I could have drilled a small hole instead.

What nonsense, it spins in both directions and doesn't have a lock or space for a wrench. As well, how many different styles of screw heads do you need? A flat head on the shaft . . . Really!? Finally released it with double vice grips (coupler + shaft). I should have kept it plugged in.
Worthless and disappointing. Coupling is fused. Also disassembled the base and the flat-head screw that holds on the fan is fused. Design of coupling is shite anyway. Returning parts to AppliancePartsPros and buying a new, better blender.
