Most videos show how to unscrew an easy-access base for a slightly different model rather than the one I have with the small slit on the bottom. So glad you posted this for the "slit-type"! Mission accomplished.
Bob. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us unmechanically minded folks how to disassemble the base of the magic bullet. I'm with Henry Mendez, God bless you.
Mine broke at least a week ago but I was reluctant to throw it away. I guess I thought it was going to heal itself! Now I know I was just waiting for you to show me how to fix it! I love this thing and hadn't realized how much I rely on it.
You can also substitute the plastic base gear with one of the blade rubber gears. It worked for me and I found the rubber to rubber contact more reliable and durable.
Thank you so much for this piece of advice! We did exactly that and voila! We're back in action and we don't have to wait days for an Amazon delivery!!! :D
Thank you for sharing! I somehow didn't have my mug on all the way and both the base and rubber piece shredded because of the power. It has sat in storage for a few months but now I NEED it lol thanks again really helpful!
Thank you for posting this video, Bob. My Magic Bullet motor was about to go in the trash, but thought I'd do a Google search first and glad I did (and found your video). It's working again!
Thank you. I had tossed my base in the recycle. Then I started looking at replacement parts and saw this gear....anyway, pulled the base out of recycle....will try this! Thanks Bob!
Thanks. I was actually able to take the piece out of our ancient Betty Crocker smoothie maker that died yesterday, and transfer it to a "broken" magic bullet that my son recently brought home. The most difficult part was finding the screw driver that I somehow managed to lose halfway through this project. ⁉️
When I do the last removal step, holding both sides in place and rotating the gear clockwise I can't seem to hold the rear screw in place even with proper equipment. I have good grip strength so I'm unsure why it's not working...
Bob..I understand and how to change the gear head, but the plastic shield that is mounted beneath the gear head on my magic bullet is completely cracked everywhere. Does this replacement part come with that shield too? How important is it that the shield is not broken in order for the machine to function properly after I replace the gear? I don't see where the shield is part of the replacement package
It was not as easy as on the video. Tried to replace the gear on the base, but it was too tight. Even with the help of a second person. After many tries, I gave up.
Hello! Nice vid there! I was looking for a video on how to assemble the magic bullet power base. I wanted to clean the machine inside i was able to take ot the parts but then i found out that i couldnt be able to realign the inside part.. Now i need help... :( could you please tell me some techniques? Thanks
Hi there. We have an isagenix blender (isablender) that looks pretty much identical to this. Both the rubber and plastic drive gear is stripped. Are the parts interchangeable with these magic bullet parts?
Didn't help me. I could never get it to unscrew. I bought the replacement part on amazon for $5, but we tried everything to unscrew it and got no results. Oh well.b
Is the base gear what causes it to chatter like crazy? Cuz mine is chattering intermittently very bad so I'm just trying to order the part and have it ready for replacement before I disassemble it that is why I'm asking
the plasic broke off and left the screw so i can,t replace it. do you know of a small tool that would hold the bottom screw so i can twist off the top screw?
@@yudelkam.5465 i used one L shape tool to hold screw still, and another tool to turn clockwise. it finally loosened and came off. one held in one hand the other held in the other hand, at the same time. clockwise usu tightens screws, but with bullet, clockwise loosens it.
Hey, I bought the replace base gear from you, but it is just IMPOSSIBLE to take out the old base. the plastic around the old one is totally broken and gone, so its just the gold middle thing left. I tried every kind of pliers i could find and couldnt make it budge! i even got two other friends together to try and help and it didnt work. feel like i wasted my money on replacement parts and should have just invested that money in a new magic bullet
I had the same problem. I put a pair of vice grips on the "gold middle thing". On the bottom, I held the giant plastic gear with a towel. It spun right off. Make sure that you are spinning it the correct way. It is reverse thread.
@@yudelkam.5465 ... I do not remember exactly which vice grips I used, but any vice grip should work. Search google, amazon, home-depot for "vice grips". www.amazon.com/s?k=vice+grips&ref=nb_sb_noss
I watched this whole damn video for you to not actually take the part out! UGH! I need to know what the hell the part looks like so I can buy the right one. The plastic shield on mine is totally cracked and broken and I can't tell if I can buy a replacement part for that.
Thanks for that Bob. If I hadn't stopped and viewed your video my bullet would have gone flying out the kitchen window by now.
Thank you! Yet another grateful viewer who salvaged his magic bullet. I'd've never figured out that the central screw is reverse threaded.
Bob. Thank you so much. I was going to dump my magic bullet to the trash. God bless you for helping other people.

Certainly appreciate your help. I had a friend hold the base gear with a plyers but we got it done with your encouragement

This video made me go get my motor out of the trash since I thought it was done!!! Thank you man!
Thank you for posting this video, Bob. My Magic Bullet motor was about to go in the trash, but thought I'd do a Google search first and glad I did (and found your video). It's working again!
thanks buddy. followed your video and everything works like brand new. my magic bullet is back to life.
Thank you !!!! I wish I found this earlier. Finally able to switch that darn gear . 👍🏼
Thanks Robert...this was great...your hint about the screw going the other way was the trick!
Thank you. I had tossed my base in the recycle. Then I started looking at replacement parts and saw this gear....anyway, pulled the base out of recycle....will try this! Thanks Bob!
This was so helpful! Thank you! It's working again!!
Thanks for the video! Bought my gear from you and was happy to find your instructions! Easy to follow!
Thank you for the video. Just fixed ours. It was very hard to keep the bottom screw in place.

Thank you Thank you! So straight forward (without the theatrics or long ramblings). Excellent!
Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks
Well done sir! for anyone with a magic bullet, you have been very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks, Bob. Now I have five replacement gears coming from your eBay site.
Thank you! So helpful and very informative👍
Thanks a lot from 🇧🇪
I got my new gear coming and thanks for the help. Left hand threads.
When I do the last removal step, holding both sides in place and rotating the gear clockwise I can't seem to hold the rear screw in place even with proper equipment. I have good grip strength so I'm unsure why it's not working...
Thank you, this was very helpful and saved me a lot of time and money.
Very nicely developed video. You covered all the points. Thank you!
Very helpful. Managed to fix with your help. Thanks.
PERFECT! Thank you very much. Clean and concise.
Gracias por el video👍pero la pieza de la base se partio a la mitad y el remache se quedo en la base como puedo sacarlo? Gracias

Thank you! Worked like a charm!

Why would a magic bullet heat up and smoke up? Can I replace any parts or would this concern the motor of it.
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks just fixed mine.

What is brown stuff coming out the bottom
My magic bullet just quit working. I didn't use it very often. Do I need to replace the plastic gear to get it going again?
Can you help me out, I have the nutribullet rx and the base gear got loose. It's a drive socket I think, can you help me fix that please?
Great I'm glad it was helpful!!
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH !!!!!
Perfect!!! Thank You
Thanks
Thank you so much!!

Спасибо мне видео очень помогло. 👍
Thank you for this. I bought the replacement part, but then I started thinking how the hell am I going to put this on?
thanks!

You can find them on ebay or Amazon.com.
Or you can just go to www.bobsstuf.com
