That is normal. But if you are too concerned, use an Allen key wrench and tighten the screws (method in the above section). It won&#8217;t make any difference in the blending performance though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_change_the_socket_on_a_Vitamix_5200\"><\/span>How do I change the socket on a Vitamix 5200?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The drive socket on any Vitamix machine can be changed the same way. All you need is the Allen wrench, Vitamix black wrench, and a little alignment of the drive socket to remove the screw (all steps in the above section). And you can easily change the socket on Vitamix 5200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Vitamix_drive_socket_won%E2%80%99t_come_off\"><\/span>The Vitamix drive socket won&#8217;t come off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A damaged socket is hard to come off.
