How do I remove the drive coupler? I bought a new basket and it came with a coupler. I tried to remove the old coupler and broke it, but still can't get it off. But now i HAVE to remove it. How do I remove the old coupler?

    Thanks, but this is not enough instruction. Since the drive shaft itself
    also rotates in either direction when you try to rotate the coupler, and
    there is no way to hold it, I cannot simply rotate the coupler
    counterclockwise as you suggest. Please tell me how I can clamp or hold the
    drive shaft itself since it is not exposed.

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    Thanks. That's what I tried to do but it just wouldn't budge, so broke most of the plastic around the coupler. If you are certain that is all I need to do then i'll get a pair of vice grips on it and just keep pulling.

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    Perhaps maybe you are talking about a different model? I simply cannot even budge it this way. AND when I look inside the new drive coupler I can see that there are threads at the top where the drive shaft goes. So that leads me to believe that the other fellow's comment was more correct. It must be threaded onto the shaft. My problem now is that I cannot grip the shaft anywhere in order to hold it while I turn the coupler. I took the bottom plate off and could see a small bladed fan at the bottom of the shaft, but could not grip the shaft in any way strong enough to hold it from spinning while I try to turn the coupler (clockwise OR counterclockwise) so I still cannot remove the coupler. How can I grip or hold the drive shaft?

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    The shaft spins along with the coupler when I try to turn it. The shaft is completely covered within the unit. How can I grip or hold the shaft while trying to turn the coupler counterclockwise??? I took the bottom plate off and can see a small fan attached to the bottom of the shaft. But I cannot grip it without bending it in order the stop the shaft from rotating while I try to rotate the coupler off as you suggest. How can I grip the shaft to hold it?

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    Thanks for the links you provided above. But I don't need reviews on the product (the 800JEXL) as I obviously already own one. And I don't need the manual as I got one with my juicer. The manual only covers how to use the juicer and clean and care for it, along with some recipies. It doesn't address my problem of replacing a coupler. I need technical help in how to remove the old drive coupler!

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    I need to know how to remove the drive coupler from my 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite juicer. How can I grip the drive shaft to hold it still while I try to turn the old coupler to get it off?

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    It is exactly like this one. It is the BR3 basket. Look DEEPER inside the shaft hole and you'll see the threads I am talking about in the upper 3/4 inch of the shaft hole.

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    I tried that but the pressure needed to hold the shaft from turning is so great that it is starting to bend the fan blades. They seem to be made of some thin metal. I don't want to bend the fan blades since then it will spin out of balance and vibrate and probably make some strange noises when using the juicer. Got any ideas on how I can grip the whole fan with extreme firmness so that I don't bend the blades?

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    See my previous reply. Yes, that is the exact same basket and coupler that I have. If you look deeper within the shaft hole on the coupler, you will see the threads that I am talking about. It IS threaded about half the way up.

  • donlisefski Jun 14, 2011

    I didn't try to remove the rubber gasket to access the drive shaft. I assumed it was essentially 'sealed' for a reason. I didn't want to risk damaging anything else and having to end up buying a whole new unit. But maybe I should try that. If I can just see an inch or so of the shaft maybe I can get a pair of vice grips on it enough to hold it while I turn the coupler. I'll take a look.

  • donlisefski Jun 21, 2011

    I've tried this but unfortunately the fan blades are made of very thin, soft metal. So they bend with just the slightest bit of pressure. If they bend and I can't bend them back into their original positions, the fan will spin out of balance at high speeds and create other problems. I simply cannot take the fan off either. The screw that holds it on is extremely tight and the same problem occurs -- I end up bending the fan blades just to hold it while trying to remove the screw. Any other ideas on how I can hold the fan to avoid spinning????

  • Anonymous Mar 11, 2020

    Take the bottom off of the new basket and place it on top of the old. Continue to get it to line up and when it does push it down. After you hear that magical snap, place the basket in place and Voila! Hope this helps

    OK this is what you have to do..

    when you see the fan at the bottom of your machine...that fan is connected to the shaft that holds the old coupler..


    You have to do is get a screw driver and place it to the blade of the fan that connected to the shaft to avoid spinning the shop while remove the old coupler.

    Thank you

  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2011

    alright Boss here is the step I suggest for you to remove the coupler...

    First...when you see the small fan attached in the bottom of the shaft
    you will also notice that it was connected to the shaft that holds the coupler...
    Second step to do is to get a screw driver and place it into the space between the blade fan so that the blade fan won't move or rotate...( you need to hold the screw driver while trying to loosening or rotating that part)
    then the shaft and blade fan will avoid spinning together...
    Then you can now remove the old coupler...

    Please just be careful and be gentle on handling the screw driver clockwise movement and the other one rotate counter or in a reverse rotation...

    I hope this time its clear and really helps you Boss....
    Thank you!!!

    Alright boss I suggest you put an oil in the parts holding/locking the blade and the shaft then try again the steps above...maybe it the screw locking the blade and the shaft, coupler was too tight Boss...

    Thank you for trusting me!!!
    Good day!!!

Good day!

If you wish to removed the coupler on your machine...

you have to do is to hold the fan blade at the bottom on the shaft to avoid spinning while you loosening the coupler...

After that look for the possible lock in the coupler then you can remove it..

Hop it helps...thanks

The Drive Coupling is just a push fit and should be pulled/levered out of the base/drive shaft.

  • 2 more comments 
  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2011

    You could also try putting a piece of metal or wood on top of the main body to spread the load and lever it with a large flat bladed screwdriver or bar. Just try and move it a couple of mm then move round 45Deg and do the same again.

    I take it your Filter Basket with Coupling doesn't look like the one in the photo at the link below which shows an unthreaded hole? - http://www.ereplacementparts.com/mesh-fi...

  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2011

    Didn't see the threads. Every other unit I've seen and worked on was a push taper fit for the exact reason you're having problems now. You say you've tried to rotate it both ways and there's no stop point to enable you to unscrew it so can the rubber gasket below it be removed to gain access to the drive shaft?

  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2011

    Just looking at the link below (bottom left on Page 3), and it looks like the centre of the drive coupler pops out, or is this just the way its moulded. - http://www.ereplacementparts.com/images/...

Hi Donlisefski,

I would guide you as to how you can remove the old coupler.

I guess you would have tried to remove it by applying force in the wrong direction ,

because what you need to do to remove the coupler , rotate it COUNTERCLOCKWISE i.e. opposite to the direction in which the analog clock usually works, it would need some pressure , but eventually it will open up.

Try holding it with some clamp so that it does not move and with some other clamp or object try to open the coupler and there you go , you would be able to open it yourself.

Hope this helps ...:)

  • Anonymous Jun 15, 2011

    Hi Donlisekfi,

    Please follow the below instructions :-

    (1) As I have indicated earlier the coupling is threaded
    to the blender motor in reverse to a standard threading. Therefore it will screw just like a normal container top but in the clockwise direction.

    (2) Now you need to place the blender base on a tabletop, this should face you, base down/coupling up, and then you should probably unplug it.

    (3) Now you need a a punch or a flathead screwdriver, and hence place it against one of the coupling teeth that is the most far from you.


    (4) Strike the back of the screwdriver with a small hammer or maillot.
    This will result in spin of coupling clockwise. It might take several tries, but
    the coupling will eventually spin clockwise faster than the motor, and so as a result it will begin to unthread itself

    (5) Now unscrew the old coupling, and
    then screw the new coupling into place (counterclockwise). You do not need
    to worry about tightening it too much as it will happen eventually on use.

    Make sure you lubricate the area of threading around the coupler for 10 - 15 minutes before you do this and make sure you do not have oil on your hands while you do this.

    Hope this helps ...:)

Have just bought a secondhand Ruby and replaced the blades and basket - still having problems with the basket collecting pulp (apples) and becoming noisy - unbalanced I assume. When I clean out the basket...

Hi Kathy, we had the same problem. You need to soak you basket overnight (every day) in a chlorinated solution/detergent. This will keep your filter basket clean. Also, make sure you rinse out your juicer if you know you are not going to use it much for a few hours as the pulp will dry up and clog your filter. Since adopting we started doing this we haven't had any more problems.

When I disassemble for cleanup, the basket is very difficult to get out of the bucket part. Any tips?

The basket may have cut into the hex shape top of the spindle creating little grooves which
the basket locks into. If that's the case you have to replace the part, it's called the impeller.
If you can purchase one from Omega, use a needle nose pliers to remove the flat hold down
washer/nut on top of the motor spindle, pull off the old impeller and push on the new. Line
it up correctly it only installs in one position. The impeller is the flat rotating part that the
basket sits on. I did it on my Acme but had to push a little for them to sell me one.

Do not know how to remove basket

(1) Remove the food plunger and top cover; (2) unscrew the 3 screws from the blade/cutter plate and lift it off its base; (3) Unscrew the plastic base COUNTERWISE and lift it off of the center spindle; (4) Now you can remove the basket and juice bowl for cleaning.

To reassemble, reverse the process.

Breville JE90J juice fountain spare part

The coupling on the juicer basket end is no big problem, but the coupling on the motor end is a big problem as you need to stop the motor from rotating to unscrew the coupling. This means remiving the base of the juicer which may be difficult because of the type of screws involved.

Jack Lalanne Power Juicer

I bought the juicer at a second-hand store in brand new condition however the crescent tool was missing. To remove the flat blade for cleaning, I use a pair of scissors spread far enough to fit the ends in both holes. Hold the basket still while turning the scissors counter-clockwise untill the flat blade detaches. Easy as that! I ordered the tool, but it hasn't arrived yet. Hope this helps!

Cleaning my juicer

Generally you will have good luck with this item - however after using it for a while here is the problem people are stating in other reviews. You cannot get the basket our for cleaning. Unfortunately there are no instructions or troubleshooting or anything on the manufacturer's website for fixing this..

Here's the problem...There are 3 little captured balls on the basket that engage into holes into the juicer to hold it into place when you load it. The problem is that over time - the balls get juice in them. Then you store the thing with the basket locked into the juicer. Then from sitting in your cupboard - the juice dries and the balls are stuck. When they get very sticky they do not float in their cavity they are stuck. Then after you juice the next time - you cannot get basket off. basket is stuck and you will destroy the juicer if you try to pry it out with excessive force.
If you have this problem and you are lucky enough to be reading this - I have figured out the fix on my own...

You need to fill up a large tupperware, rubbermaid, whatever - bowl about 3 inches deep with hot water. Then take the juicer with the clear cover off and flip it upside down and into the hot water. Make sure the water is covering the entire basket area, but not so deep it goes into the motor area. I let it soak for about 3 hours, but I don't think you will need to do it for that long. When I took it out of the water I was able to pry the basket out with very little force. This is when I discovered this flawed design with the balls. Now I rinse the little ball bearings really good after using and dont store it connected. Then before connecting the basket to the juicer rinse the little bearings and push them in to make sure they are freed up before each use.

I used it probably for a year or so about 40 or 50 times without this issue, but let it sit for about 4 months - which is why I believe it caused these balls with juice in them to get so frozen I couldn't remove it.

Good luck. It worked for me.. this should work for you!

The blade will not spin when the top piece is secure, & I the inside will not come out to clean

There is a roll pin under the flywheel, I you can get the basket off then you pull up on the flywheel , It is the last part before the motor housing. Once you have that off I think you may find that pin is sheared off. It is a common automotive or bearing house part. push out the old and push in the new pin and away you go. The new pin shoud protrude about 3?16 " on both sides of the pin. I hope this helps.
