Yes its easy to take the Magic Bullet apart.

1. First pry out the 4 black rubber feet on the base with small screwdriver and unscrew the 4 cross head screws revealed below.

2. Remove this black base to reveal the inner black base Unscrew the cable clamp - 2 screws and the 3 screws that retain the remaining black base to the body of the bullet - slide it off over the power cable.

3. Turn the bullet the proper way up and pry out the 3 white rubber bumpers with a screw driver blade that are set inside for the cup to rest on - each is located with two rubber pins. Once all 3 are removed you will reveal 3 more cross head screws - these countersunk - remove all 3 and then the internal motor will be free to lift out through the top of the Bullet casing.

4. Its possible to slip out the 3 white plastic sliders - taking care to note how they seat each on a small spring to cleanup both the slides and the sliders.

To re assemble step by step in reverse - noting to align the motor cable with the cutouts on the bullet base.

SOURCE: Magic Bullet Blender Repair

i had the same problem,broken plastic drive gear.
solution ; sacrifice one of the blender choppers bases you use the least (usually the flat cutter)
hold the cutter blade with pliers or in a vice if you can and unscrew the rubber gear off the shaft in a clockwise direction -- CLOCKWISE--DIRECTION-- easy huh.
Now insert screwdriver to suit,(coss,phillips or flat blade type) into centre hole in underside base of power head drive unit. Hold unit firmly and now unscrew broken gear or brass centre piece left behind CLOCKWISE again off spindle.
Finally screw rubber gear back onto motor spindle in ANTI clockwise direction. DO NOT over tighten. Rotation of motor and drag caused by blending action tightens assembly with use.
Done. for pics follow this link

SOURCE: My Magic Bullet has broken. I need to know how to get it fix.

This happened to me, and I was told by the company that I had to purchase a brand new base, that the plastic turning device can not be repaired. If it is under warranty, you may not have to pay anything but shipping, and maybe not that either. If you do not have the number to the company, go on-line and and search for it. Call the company and report what the problem is.

Can you replace a melted cord

I posted the reply pasted below on how to take the Bullet apart - really not difficult once you know where the hidden screws are apart. Once apart it easy to see where the power cable terminates and should be easily possible to connect in a new cable in its place.

Base gear for the top of the base

Carefully take it apart and clean it thoroughly. If you see any burnt wires, trying replacing those if you know how to replace one. As for the plastic gear on the power base, it can be easily replaced with any ordinary similar coupler of the same size, for example like the one KitchenAid supplies (Blending coupler 9704230). The only catch here is that you need to replace the coupler on the base of your choppers as well. This would be a better idea considering getting rid of the cheap plastic used in these blenders and the need for long-term use.
