The only problem with my Nutri Ninja Pro BlenderModel BL470UK 30220-240V-50hZ 900W is the carbon brush tension spring is snapped on its bend point your suggestion to replace the motor is ludicrous and so wast full this is bad advice
This tutorial is labeled “motor replacement”, not “carbon brush replacement”. It’s obviously intended to show how to remove the motor assembly as a whole, & doesn’t go into details on specific components of the assembly. I notice all of the repair pages for this model seem to be by a single person. Do you really expect one person to think of everything that could go wrong with a blender & make a separate guide for every single possible breakage? Repair tutorials here generally presume that the reader has common sense & basic intelligence & will be able to use the guide in a general manner, even if their specific problem is not shown.
The fact that you can look at your motor assembly & diagnose the problem as a broken spring suggests you also have enough knowledge to repair that problem without a specific guide. Other people may have an irreparable motor & may need to replace the whole assembly.
I’m just glad there’s guides showing the inside of the blender; I can do my own diagnosing once I get it opened up.

I've got a BL480EU, but it seems to be similar in construction. I guess the only real difference is a 230V motor and electronics. I couldn't remove the motor because I wasn't able to perform step 6. You can definitely not unscrew to the rubber connector with 2 fingers ;)
I used a pair of pliers (vice grips might work as well) but it was so tight I ended up rotating the propeller in the back, I was holding on to. Can anyone confirm that the rubber dog/driver/connector is actually screwed in in the BL480 and not pressed on? Would love take mine apart. Any hints are appreciated!

The three screws holding the slotted base in place on some units are Torx Security bits (TR9) not phillips. The tool is listed above (T9 Torx Screwdriver is actually a TR9 Torx Security Screwdriver . It’s the right tool.

So when you remove the bottom plate and completely remove the motor, does the new motor come with the electrical cord already attached, and if so, how do you get the bottom plate off and on with the motor on one side of the cord and the plug on the other. Or does it come without the cord and you need to do some soldering?
