The drive coupling (what turns the blender) lost all teeths
Watched the video on the site on how to remove the old one and install the new one and it took me all of 5 minutes, at most. I almost threw it away. Super cheap repair. The product arrived in 2 days too. I am saving the site. They are great.

The fingers where sheared off so the blade would not turn.
Pretty muched followed the directions, but after reading all the reviews I knew what do to before the part arrived. Super easy. My blender had been out of commission for a while...now I'm back in business. Well worth the $14 (part and shipping).

Drive coupling wore out
It was harder than the directions said to get the old drive coupling off, but once the old was taken off, it was a piece of cake to put the new one on.
Thanks, great service from this website, received my part the next day after I ordered it!

blender coupler was worn down
Using the precise instructions provided by parts select, I used a big screw driver and pried off the old coupler and cleaned the area and screwed on the new coupler. Fixed!
The part finally arrived 3 weeks later, after being out of stock and back ordered a couple times.

coupler crumbled
Thanks to everyone before me and their stories!
I felt confident enough to try repairing my blender myself ! ! !
I just placed a flat head screw driver under the coupler and pushed up on the screw driver, 3 or 4 more times around the coupler. It broke away and a metal disc was left, which I unscrewed and I just screwed the new coupler on.
Thanks Again!

Followed the directions and used a screwdriver to pry off the old gear. Screwed the new one on - reverse thread. Easy as that.

The drive coupling wore out
I unscrewed the old coupling and screwed on the new coupling from Partselect.
This was a personal repair job.
However, I am a local Handyman in Northern NJ that does a ton of minor repairs. For all of my appliance part needs I will buy from Partselect.com. They under promised and over delivered! Just incase you dont know what I mean by that statement,,, I ordered the blender part, they told me I would have it in 6-10 days (which was acceptable to me) and I had it in two days... AWESOME job FOLKS!!!!!!!

My blender I bought at an estate sale needed a new drive coupling.
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!!

Teeth on rubber coupling were broken off.
Just like the directions said, I pryed up on the coupling at a few points around it's circumference and it became loose enough to unscrew. I didn't believe it was going to work at first but, amazingly, it did. All that was left to do was screw on the new part. No problem!
