Im having problems removing the locking ring from the glass jar to install the new blade. Any ideas or hints?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "locking ring". I don't have such a device on my Cuisinart blender. I do remember one time when the jar was on a little tight. I simply set the jar back on the base, and twisted the jar off easily then. I'm sorry I can't help you. Rev. G.

Grab the glass and locking ring just a gentle opposite twist, it should work.

I had a hard time removing the locking ring too. Have you tried soaking the base on a dish of warm water to loosen up any residue trapped in there? That's what I did, but I also had a sort of competition going with my sons to see who would unlock it, so after soaking it for a day, plus sheer strength, it worked.

There is a button near the blade, inside the handle. Its the lock. Push it and you will be able to close the blade

i put a little wd40 or some spray lube under the silver clip. the clip is the only thing that holds the blades in tight. if you hold the blade by wrapping a cloth around it, then you can tap the handle against something solid to lock it in place.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

To get the knife blade out you simply make sure the thumb switch is pushed all the way up towards the knife blade screw. Then using your thumb you may open the blade up. The blade will lock into place if the razor blade is extended out. To replace the razor blade you push the thumb switch all the way to the other end until the razor is out as far as it will go and then press down on the little button near the end which will then release the razor blade.

Simple.. you place the black inner blade guide in first.. The black plastic guide has a pointing thing on it that moves the spring back in place.if you do it right.. the black plastic guide should be close to the cutting blade... the metal blade has a little gray hinge turn and lock that locks the blade in place.... let me know if I helped you.. I have to warn you.. that black plastic guide does not hold up over time when you wash it in the dish washer.. the first thing to break is that pointing thing that holds the spring back.. It's still a great cutting machine.. Jim

Unscrew the lock ring and slide up and off. Remove the brush head by pulling upward. Insert new brush head onto theexisting slot and replace the lock ring,

Agreed with Stephen. Build the blender from the bottom up: first set out the round base. Next, drop in the blade. Then set the gasket ring on top of that. Then screw in the blender jar. Make sure you look down into the jar to be sure that no part of the gasket is sticking up into the jar.

Glass? I'm not sure about that, I once had to replace my stainless steel bowl lock because it was worn out. What is the problem your having getting it to lock in currently?

Is this a trick question? The right way. LOL. Using the supplied allen wrench, loosen the nut by turning clockwise while pressing the blade lock. Remove the blade and replace in the reverse order.

Once the blade opens and locks, look inside the handle where the blade was contained. Right where your thumb is should be a piece with ridges on it. Push that to the left and it will remove the lock from the blade.

I had this problem too. Went to Chefs; they tightened the gray ring and showed me how to tighten it more by holding the bowl down and turning it. Also when you unlock it, don't push on it hard.

be sure to center the blade when you install it. Its not usually a problem on EJs but it can happen

No sure what you're having a problem with. It it's the black plastic base that holds the blade and gasket in you should tighten it well but not tight enough to crack the plastic. If you are talking about the Fully assembled jar onto the motorized base then make sure the jar is sitting on the metal stem and the metal stem goes up into the blade. If the jar is sitting properly on the metal stem and you lock the glass wings against the motor base it shouldn't move.

First remove the inside blade.Then press thw inside of the jar with your thumb and change the coupler with other hand.

The center of the blade has a screw knob. Turn in direction shown on screw. Remove blade. Reverse to reinstall.
