I am assuming your juicer is the same as mine. The JC-6 White with "Vitamin Bar" and a carrot on the front.
There is most likely a tool that you insert in the back slot, but since I don't know of one, I had to get creative.
First unplug the juicer and undo the side locks, remove the clear cap. Look in the back, there is a 2-inch wide slot where you can see the motor and locking mechanism.
Take a butter knife and hold the mechanism in place. Use your other hand or have a partner spin the mesh/bladed bowl counter-clockwise.
With just some effort and a small "pop" noise, the piece should be free.
I searched forever for a solution, I hope someone with a similar plight finds this helpful.
It's really easy, you take down the metal bar and the top comes off, then you should see the orange mesh basket which is removed using your little tool - it's like a key which you turn to remove the basket - rinse under the tap - piece of cake.
rinse out the lid, food pusher and base(that the mesh filter sits in).
scrub out the mesh filter with a dish brush or the included brush if you have it. be carefull the grater-like parts at the base are very sharp. make sure it's clean by holding it up to the light. if there are any particles left clinging to the mesh it will seriously interfere with the effectiveness of your juicing.
you can line the pulp collecting jug with a plastic bag so that you dont have to clean that out as well.
it's best to clean everything immediately. if for some reason you can't, at least rinse the plastic parts and leave the mesh basket to soak until you can get back to it.
if you have any dried food or staining on any of the parts then a soak in water with lemon juice in it (maybe the juice of 3 or 4 lemons) should help soften up particles and strip away stains.
The crescent tool has two protruding metal “nubs”. After you open the juicer so you can see the mesh basket that turns around, and a flat grating disc that has two holes that match those nubs. Insert the nubs into the holes and turn counter-clockwise to loosen the disc. (you’ll have to hold the plastic edge of the mesh basket so it doesn’t turn). Once it’s loose, keep turning it until it comes off.You can then remove the disc, the basket and part containing the spout to clean them. Just reverse the process to remount the parts, making sure not to overtighten the disc.
On their website there is a manual and at the end of the manual there is a number you can call for a replacement. I believe you get the crescent tool, blade, and filter together for around $25. http://www.powerjuicer.com/customer-manuals.html
