HI, I have omega 1000 juicer, and the latch arm was broken. I ordered the replacement latch arm online. I received my order today and there is no intruction how to replace it. I looked in omega 1000 manual and I coudn't find the intruction in there .
Getting the old one out is the hardest part if the arm was broken off like mine. First locate the rectangular part where the arm attaches to the case. If the old arm, or most of it, is still attached, grasp it and pull firmly away from the case until you hear a click. Then, still pulling it away from the case, push it up toward the top of the case until it slides out. If the arm is broken off you have to pry it from the top until you hear the click. I used a small paring knife. Once you get it this far, wedge something like a toothpick behind it to keep it pulled away from the case. Then you need to push this push this part up. It is pretty tight so you might want to use some type of tool, like the blade of a flat screwdriver. Once you get the old one out, putting the new on in is just the reverse of taking the old one out.

The very best way is to call Omega directly during their office hours. They are well-versed with the problem. The operator who took the call just walked me through it...the removal part, that is. I was able to put the new arm in on my own. The difficulty was removal of the old. Here's the number:
