Step 4
- CAUTION: the silver blade attached to the motor is very sharp. Use a towel or thick cloth to protect your hands for the next step.
- Using a towel, hold the silver fan still. Twist the small black rubber wheel that is attached to the top of the blender base to the right. This will remove the wheel for replacement.

This makes zero sense. The pieces in step 4 are separate from those in steps 1-3. You say “hold the silver fan still” but the photo shows someone holding the blades. You also say to twist it to the right. It’s nearly always counter clockwise.

When the writer says “hold the silver fan still” they obviously meant the blade, but why they’re calling it a “fan” is beyond me, maybe they’re not native english speaking & didn’t realize the error? Or maybe they’re trying to “dumb it down” for noobs?
For the twist direction however, it would seem the Ninja company uses a left-hand thread. Magic-Bullet blenders also use this threading on the gears. Look at the direction the motor/gear turns, if they used a regular right-hand thread, the gear would unscrew during normal use. By using a left-hand thread, the gear turns in the tightening direction during use.
Why don’t the blender-makers just have the motor turn the other way & use a standard right-hand thread for these gears?
Because it would be too easy for users to figure out how to remove & replace only the gears, instead of buying a $25 or $35 replacement blade assembly, or for the same price buying a whole new blender set. Seriously. WTF Ninja?
Ninja blender motto: “F**k mother nature, we want money!”
