Square drive pin for Osterizer blenders?

Does anyone know how to remove the square drive pin for Osterizer blenders? I have the part on order, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I am trying to get some instructions on how to perform this procedure. I removed the base, but I could see no way to even get to the square drive pin.

I simply slid a small screwdriver in through one of the holes under the base to prevent the fan from spinning and unscrewed the pin counterclockwise using some small channel lock pliers. No disassembly necessary.

I can't find a service manual anywhere on the internet, but I can try and talk through the steps I followed to replace the square drive pin and rubber coupler for my Osterizer. It's a bit tricky.

In my case, I sheared the rubber coupler that attaches to the square drive pin (by blending a spoon, of course), so I could just take the square drive pin off the top, leaving me with half the rubber coupler inside the blender housing and out of reach.

When you remove the base of the blender (using a 1/4" socket wrench or nut driver inside the four rubber feet), you should see the big metal fan covering a big motor assembly. The fan is screwed on one side of the motor shaft, the rubber coupler and drive pin onto the other. How much of the motor assembly you have to take apart depends on how much of the drive pin / rubber coupler is left.

Looking at the top of the unit again, try to get a pair of Vise-Grips clamped solidly to the rubber coupler (or what's left of it). If your vise-grips are too chunky to reach inside the blender housing, you'll have to do more dissassembly.

Get a 4" extension attachment for your 1/4" socket wrench. Look deep inside the blender, and you'll see four bolts holding the motor onto the housing. They should be slathered in grease. Being sure not to lose any washers, rubber gaskets, or other parts, Unscrew all four bolts and slide the motor assembly out of the housing.

Now you can see both ends of the motor - the drive end and the fan end. Clamp the motor's square solid magnet frame into a vise, so you can work freely. Take the fan off - notice that the threads have a flat spot ground onto them to keep the fan aligned. VERY CAREFULLY clamp a vise-grip onto the flat part of the fan-side motor shaft, using a thin piece of wood, folded rag, etc. to protect the threads on the non-flat side. Get this good and tight, but don't dent the threads.

Now, clamp another pair of vise-grips onto what's left of the drive pin/rubber coupler, and spin counterclockwise to loosen. Done!

I haven't reassembled mine, but I can tell it'll be tricky to mount the motor back into the housing again. Good luck!

How do I remove the little pin at the base of the shaft so I can attach new rubber drive

That is a roll pin and you need a punch the size just smaller that that little pin. Then you can just tap it out with the punch and a hammer. Remove the drive and replace and tap the pin back into place to hold the rubber drive.

Osterizer blender problem

Is the black plastic part, seal, and glass portion snugly fitted together? If so, it's likely that the black plastic part isn't making contact with the pin. On mine I have to turn it about a quarter turn to lock it to the motor/ drive pin.

If I have a hard object such as ice cubes too firmed placed in the blender against the blade and the glass, I shake the container to loosen the materials and reseat it onto the drive pin as mentioned above.

Poor function of my Oster classic blender

Yeah, the blades probably need to be replaced. The replacement blade assemblies for most models can be ordered directly from Oster - their phone # is 1-800-334-0759 - you have to go through an elaborate menu tree to get to the right place.

Replacing the part that connects the motor to the blades on an Oster blender

I don't know if this will help or if this is what you are looking for. But today I was searching the web for the bottom piece that fits on the jar and saw this website has a lot of replacement parts for Oster blenders. Hope this is what you're looking for.
Good Luck

The blender coupling on my oster snapped in half. I have the replacement part already I just cannot figure out how to get the broken coupling off the base of the motor. I also got a replacement square...

10-01-2009 Sara - see solution for rlaymon 1-9-08 "Top part of base broke off" by TanyaCS on 1-20-08 - good ideas. I just fixed mine - 2 hour job + half hour to put a new cord in. Like TanyaCS my broken coupling was rusted to shaft - used WD-40 twice and let sit - meanwhile took out motor and removed fan - kept screws and washers in order on workbench (kitchen counter) - the fan hole is "D" shaped - fan end of shaft also "D" shaped - I filed a "flat" on the other side of the factory "flat" (side of 'D' that is straight) - Used big pliers on broken coupling and adjustable wrench on on the "flats" on fan end of the shaft. Broken end came right off. New cord is 18 gauge extension cord capable of at least 6 amps. Cut off the un-needed end. Or order a replacement cord $4 when you order the rubber drive coupling $4, pin with slinger washer $3. Bet you also need new rubber feet - didn't buy for mine - wish I had. Bert
