KSB5BK4 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Being an aircraft mechanic for years I pride my self on being able to fix anything that my wife buys. So I tried to replace the drive gear for her kitchen aid blender without reading the instructions, much easier to read.
Thanks,

simply hold the axel with the wire stripper to prevent from rotating. Using the pliers firmly turn old coupling counterclockwise until loose. Once this coupling is totally off you are ready to screw on the new one. Very simple. The most difficult part was finding a tool slim enough to fit between old coupling and base to hold axel from spinning. I ordered part on sunday and received it on tuesday. It spared me from throwing away a $120.00 dollar kitchenaide blender.

with a flat wrench grab the shaft and unscrew the coupling (note: left handed threads)... then install the replacement part.

Intructions were simple. Pried off the old coupling with the screwdriver and applied presser to replace the new one on the spindle.

Comment: KitchenAid appliances are made to last unlike most other small kitchen appliances. They are made of strong materials and repairable where as other similar products get thrown out when they break.

It was very easy to unscrew the coupler I used locktight to put on the new part. Thank you sending
the right part the first time

Released cup drive with screw driver and un-screwed, screwed on new driver.
That is all, works like a new blender.

After reading repair stories on this site, I used wire splicers that just fit between the coupling and housing to hold the shaft while I used pliers to remove the broken coupling. I then hand tightened the new one . It works fine now.

Popped off the old one and popped on the new one. It took no more then 30 seconds and the blender is like new again.

it was too easy, i only used my hand to screw the coupling to the blender.

The coupling split apart on my Kitchenaid Blender. I ordered the coupling part and "Bingo", I was back in business. It took no time at all and one screwdriver. I saved penty of money by not having to buy a new appliance.

simple clear instructions to follow

I couldn't unscrew the old coupling (left hand thread) so I carefully sawed a piece off being careful (the somewhat difficult part of the job) not to damage the threads on the drive motor. Then I used pliers to remove the rest of the drive coupling. Then it's just a matter of screwing on the new coupling. Good as new and I didn't have to buy a new $150 blender.

I just followed the instructions to remove the old drive coupling and screwed in the new one.

Hardest part was taking off the old coupling. I locked the drive with a thin wrench and pryed the coupling off. Took about ten minutes to get off and two minutes to put the new gear on. Remember the thread is counter clockwise. PartSelect was great the part arrived in two days.

using the screw driver I pryed up on the old coupling as out line in the instructions that came with the part. The old part cam off easily and the new one just screwed on. The replacement took only a few minutes.
