KSB5BK4 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

The replacement part arrived so swiftly I didn't know what it was until I opened the packet.

The motor drive shaft has two flanges on it that can accept a narrow wrench and the drive wheel can be screwed off clockwise!
Alternatively the drive wheel can be easily prised off and the drive wheel screwed on anti-clockwise thread.
Success
Of course if the drive wheel was made of a more durable material this would not have been a problem unfortunately typically american not made to last!

i used the screwdriver method prying up on side to side old one comes off new one goes on pretty cool also it was a nice long flat head with pretty big head

Used a wrench 19/64 flat

place screwdriver under old coupler and pried up on it in different spots until it popped off. Took less than 5 min. to do.

After I discovered that it needed to be screwed on turning to the left it was simple.

I looked on the Web for help in changing this part they suggested prying the part off with a screwdriver. This would work but I figured this approach was a little to brutal.I had a set of distributor wrenches and these had one that fit the shaft under the drive coupling Using the wrench to hold the shaft I used a small set of water pump pliers to remove the coupling.As the directions on the Web states this is a reverse thread.The whole project took all of five minutes to complete

Followed the video you sent removing the old drive coupling. Installed the new part according to instructions. I found I did not need to order the seal. I am a do it yourselfer and have never had such a good experience.

I used a screwdriver,pulled out the piece,then change with a new one,that I was ordered before.It was ver easy to assembly.

followed instruction, prying off old coupling and screwed new coupling on less than 5 minutes. Parts came in a timely manner. great service, satisfied customer

Removed reverse thread coupler, jammed screw driver into fan blade at bottom of mixer, installed new coupler. REMEMBER, REVERSE THREAD!

I utilized the "pound the coupling in a clockwise direction" to loosen the coupling. Two good "wackes" and it was loose. Installed new coupling. I found this method in the previous customer installation instructions on the site. Please note that my new part number is ps401661. This part works normally even though my model number did not list a part number, perhaps because my blender is an older model. Without the installation instructions site I would not have known that the thread was a "reverse thread". This site is very helpful. Good luck

popped off the old one, popped on the new one. could not have been any easier. :)

Hammer was used to remove the old one, tapping quickly on old coupling. I did use a thin pliers (wire stripper) to hold shaft when I screwed on new coupling, even though it said one did not need to. Good instruction sheet came with the new coupling.

Took the coupler out with the help of screwdriver and put the new coupler. really easy fix insted of buying a new blender

Since the coupling is threaded, it can be easily screwed on and off if you immobilize the shaft. If you don't have a tool that can do this (the space between the drive coupling and the body of the blender is only about 1/8"), you can insert a long bladed screwdriver into the vents on the bottom of the blender and into the motor. When you turn the coupling, the motor won't rotate and you can easily screw off the coupling (the threads are reversed, so turn the opposite way). Good luck!
Good
