5KSB52EAC4 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

The drive coupling would not loosen even broke a wrench, a chea Sears wrench. I tried screw driver trick but only damaged the plastic housing. In the end I took a gringer to needle nose vice grips thinning the tip to gain assess to the drive shaft flates. Once I was able to hold the shaft the old coupling unscrewed, or what was left it. Yes I took pliers to it bending it out of the way to improve access to the shaft. My point of writing this is to suggest a thin wrench be included or offered as an option. A wrench of similar quality to that used on a dremmel tool to change the bits.

Unscrew coupling from motor shaft and replace with new coupling. Be aware it is a left handed thread.

very easy be careful not to touch the magnet on other end armature it is delicate

Removed defective drive coupling with a screw driver, cleaned the fitting, and replaced with the new drive coupling. Less than 3 minutes total time.

I inserted a small diameter rod into the underside of the fan motor and unscrewed the drive coupling (left hand thread) and then screwed the new drive coupling on. Simple repair, the motor direction keeps the drive coupling tight so no pliers or other tools needed.

I griped each foot with a pliers and twisted it out of its setting. I then set a new foot in place and hammered it into place with a small hammer. The feet fit snugly and did not need to be glued. Job was easy and mixer sits like new. I was glad I spent the money to replace all of the feet at once.

Unlike my husband I Followed the wonderful and easy directions with pictures you sent with the part. Made it very easy.

Followed the inclosed instructions and pried off the old coupling. I cleaned up the threads and threaded the new coupling on the drive shaft.

I used the screw driver to pry off the chewed up drive coupling but it took quite a bit of prying to get it off. I sort of scratched up underneath the drive coupling doing it. Much easier to put the new one on than take the old one off.

Took a hammer and a screwdriver.......... firmly tapped on the old coupling removing it from the unit......... reinstalled the new coupling. Super Easy

I followed your directions; cleaned the broken coupling pieces and shaft off with a dry cloth, screwed the new coupling on, tightened slightly. Works like new.

Pried off old coupling with flat screwdriver , cleaned threads on blender, and screwed on new coupling ( counter clockwise )

Just like instructions said. I pried around the coupler and it came right off. Put on the new one

At first I followed the directions shown on the video and was not successful ,due to not following them correctly .Once the part came ,I tried again after trying some of the other suggestions posted .Going back to video it took me about 2 minutes after spending another 2 minutes with the other methods .I am not discounting the other methods ,but will recommend the video ,a good stout straight edge screwdriver and patience.Also be sure to protect the painted surface of the blender base.All in all am pleased I did not have to go out and buy a new blender for $100 plus .

After watching the informational Video provided on Parts Direct.com, I was able to make the repair in 3 minutes. They also provided an excellent instruction sheet with the part.
