Remove some of the blades by prying the springy wire, with a loop at the end, slightly out, away from the shaft. Don't actually bend them. I think I remember a tool that did that, but not clearly. I have ONLY a chopper and bowl which makes nut butter for me. I move the 2 wire ends out, and wiggle the blade and it comes up. MAKE SURE IT'S UNPLUGGED, as you really are manoeuvering the machine about - who needs it to start up?
