I use to be able to easily twist and remove the mesh basket/blades and the .part that it sets in by simply twisting the base metal part with the juice spout a bit, lately it is really sticking and it is difficult to remove can I use olive oil or something as a lubricant?
SOURCE: cannot twist off the filter basket of the breville
I had the same problem. It must juat got a bit stuck - I gave it a really good twist anti-clockwise and it came unstuck and popped lose.
SOURCE: My juicer is about 10
You might have been able to find a replacement seal for the top but if the bottom is leaking that means the seal is gone there as well and that means replacing the container. The real problem is finding any of these. And when you do the cost is going to be as much as a new unit.
I'm afraid the best advice is to replace the entire unit. The only thing is to make sure you buy a quality unit if you want to get any useful life out of them. A cheap unit is going to start leaking within a year or two (about 30 seconds after the warranty runs out) a good unit will give you hopefully another 5-10 years of use.Might cost more now but you won;t have to replace it that quickly either.
Unplug your Acme 6001 Juicer. Carry it to a countertop near your kitchen sink.
Run the pieces through the rinse cycle in your dishwasher or rinse under running tap water by hand. Air or wipe dry the pieces.
Wipe the base with a slightly soapy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Reassemble your juicer by returning the pieces to the base in reverse order.
