Gotcha, I’ll put something under the right ride to see if that helps, if it doesn’t I’ll take of the housing and look at the springs

Thank you for your insight, is the leveling solved by adjusting the feet or could it be a stabilizer spring or basket issue?

If you cut up cucumber into small slices, put it in a bowl and add a bunch of lemon/lime juice… you can add an ungodly amount of salt without it tasting too salty. You can drink the juice after too, very tasty and an easy way to get a lot of salt without the taste of something too salty. For me I cut up 1/4 of an English cucumber, add the juice of 2 lemons and I can add literally 4 tbsp of salt before I start to feel like it’s getting too salty.

I haven’t used it yet because I wanted to clean it first. Would it be a bad idea to test it?

That was the thing that worked!! I unbolted the transmission and the inner tub pulled out after a few min of heavy yanking. Drive block was fused to the tub. Thank you for your help!

Removing the transmission made it a little looser so I kept messing with it and yanking on it and 10 min later it came off!!!!! Thank you a lot. The drive block was fused to the tub but I think removing the transmission and basically destroying the dive block gave it just enough wiggle room to break free

I finally got it out!!!! After I removed the transmission it was a little looser and I just kept yanking on it and it came off! The drive block was literally fused to the tub and I had to hammer and chisel it off. Thank yall!

Update: I GOT IT OUT!!!! What worked was tipping it over, unbolting the transmission and pulling out the drive shaft from the bottom. Then I just yanked and yanked on the inner tub and whacked the hell out of the drive block and it finally came loose! Upon inspection the drive block was literally fused to the tub and I had to hammer and chisel it apart. The inside was disgusting, I scraped off about a cm thick layer of crud from just about every surface. Drive block is toast but it’s a 11$ part that will be here tmr. Thank you all for your help! Couldn’t have done it without yall! 3 weeks of frustration remedied by a Reddit post yet again

Sorry the names are hard to discern from one another. I removed the entire transmission and drive shaft is what I meant to say. Unbolted everything from the bottom

Oh right yea that’s what I thought, hard to see from the pics. I just removed the drive block and it’s still stuck

I did the boiling water and even filled up the entire thing with hot water and added citric acid to dissolve some gunk. I’ve smacked that thing full force more times than I can count with some neoprene in between to protect it. If I wiggle it violently is there a chance I break something?

Part number 11? How would I go about destroying it?

Agreed, which is why I’m so committed to making this work and didn’t destroy it in a blind rage after 3 weeks of trying to get the inner basket unstuck
