I cannot remove the broken latch arm on my Omega 1000 Juice Extractor to replace it with a new latch arm. I have tried to follow vague instructions on the web, but I cannot remove it. Thanks.

Best way to do it is remove the four screws on the bottom to separate the base
and work from the inside. Sometimes the newer latch arms are not an exact fit
and you may have to do a little filing here and there especially if it's a tight fit over
the lid.

You can purchase new latch arms from Omega. Kinda tricky removing and installing them, but
it can be done. Have Omega walk you through it.

They break. The latch arm is one piece, spring and all. So if any part of it is still in the
juicer it's broken. Order a pair from Omega and have them walk you through replacing
them.

Omega can walk you through it, but have a file handy because the new latch
arms are not a perfect fit for the older juicers. You might want to remove the
4 screws on the bottom to separate the base for better access. If you have
a little mechanical ability it can be done, if not it could get tense.

With some difficulty. Sometimes replacement latch arms are not an exact fit for
older models. You may have to file them down a bit so they will snap in place.
Also make sure the fit at the cover is not too snug or else the arm will break again.
Removing the 4 screws on the bottom and separating the base will give you a better
view on what has to be done.

wait if you have the old 1000 the new latch arm will not fit i tried it but if you the new 1000 go to omegajuicersdirect.com and find parts and email paula for info

First thing to do is call Omega and order a pair
at 1 800 633 3461 and also ask them for tips on
how to remove and install the arm. If your juicer
is older the new arms may not be an exact fit, and
you will have to do a little filing and improvising to
install them. Its helpful to remove the 4 screws on
the bottom to separate the base for better access
and view of the situation.

There are no instructions. Call Omega 1 800 633 33461
for advice. Also new arms on an older juicer may not
be an exact fit so you might have to do a little filing
down on the arm to get it to fit. You can remove the
4 screws on the bottom to separate the base and get
a clearer picture of what you have to do. Basically
you have to pry the base of the arm away and push
up to remove it. If you're not handy you may need
some help cause it gets tricky.
