Drive coupling fell apart during use
I followed the instructions on the sheet that came with the replacement part. The instructions are accurate, however, the working is misleading. I think additional information is needed to make the install easier. First, a flat head screwdriver works best. Also, all the rubber that is on the broken coupling needs to be removed before trying to get the coupling off. Once all the rubber has been removed then it becomes easier to see the metal rod that holds the coupling and distance between the coupling and the base of the blender, take the screwdriver and gently pry the coupling off in an upward movement while going around in a circular manner. Then you can see the coupling rising up from the rod. Then take a hold of the broken coupling and pull it off. Then attach the new coupling, screwing it on counterclockwise. Once you realize what is going on, it's actually quite easy.

The Drive Coupling teeth were ground down because I didn't put the blender on correctly.
Last time this happened we simply used a thin wrench to unscrew the damaged coupling. This time it was so tight no wrench could undo it. We had to grind it off using a grinder drill until it was so loose it popped off.

Coupler between base and container was stripped
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 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.

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!!

Rubber drive coupling disintegrated
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..

Plastic blender coupling ears broken off
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.

Shattered drive coupling on blender
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 pliers 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
