Economical way to extend the Waring pitcher life.
You will need a couple of vice-grip pliers to install, preferably one being a needle-nose. If you note carefully how the old one’s pieces fit, you can manage put the new one together, though the awkward narrowness of the pitcher on the inside will be a bit of a challenge.
I gave this only 4 stars because though it is a great way to economically fix the Waring pitcher with a worn-out blender part, it was still annoying to me that the part wore out after less than two years use. Still, I like the Waring styling, and the blender now runs almost as if it was brand new, which is a satisfying feeling as I did not have to junk an otherwise sound glass pitcher and saved a good deal of money.
Worth it!
It’s worth replacing a leaking assembly–plus you get new, sharp blades. The only hard part is remembering that the nut that holds the assembly in place is left-hand threaded, so you have to turn it clockwise to get it off. A socket with a long extension helps, too. Looking at how the old assembly came off, there’s a washer against the glass on the outside, and a gasket against it on the inside.
Perfect replacement part, even better than just replacing o-rings
This is the complete cutting assembly with all washers and the many needed sealing o-rings. My blender jar had begun to leak, even with the assembly periodically tightened. I was going to replace just the o-rings (there are 4) but decided to try the entire assembly of 18 pieces, not including the blender jar or top. Glad I did because the new, much sharper, blades, have made a positive difference to blended drinks.
PRO’s: perfect replacement parts, crazy easy to install, almost a new blender for only a Jackson.
CON’s: getting old assembly out of blender jar can be problematic.
To remove old assembly, most instructions have you remove the wagon wheel coupling on the bottom of the jar by stuffing the jar with a towel to keep the blades from turning, and unscrewing the coupling. Unfortunately, this did not work for me. The coupling was screwed to the shaft more strongly than the cap nut on the top of the shaft inside the blender and that cap nut came off…
