| [* black] This is the empty body of the Magic Bullet with the motor removed. | |
| - | [* light_blue] There are three white plastic posts inside, which slide down when the jar is attached. There is a spring at the bottom of each post to push it back up when the jar is removed. |
| - | [* light_blue] The posts have tabs on the bottom, one of which engages with the micro-switch on the motor. |
| + | [* light_blue] There are three white plastic posts inside, which slide down when the jar is attached. |
| [* red] The posts can get jammed if some liquid spills inside the body, since it is impossible to clean the sliding area of the posts. | |
| [* black] To remove the posts, the black plastic strip on the top edge of the body has to be removed. | |
| [* orange] Since the black strip is glued on to the body, the easiest way to get it free is to dip it in boiling water. | |
| [* black] Wait for a few minutes and then pry it off. Keep pulling up hard all round the edge and it will come off with a bit of force. | |
| [* black] Here is the body with the black strip and the three white posts. The springs at the end of the posts in my Bullet were all rusted off. | |
| + | [* icon_caution] When gluing the black strip back on to the top of the body, don't apply too much pressure. Otherwise, it will bulge inwards and jam the mixer jar bottom. |
