5KSB52EBU5 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Thanks to the good advise of those who did this before me ,I know I need a very slender wrench to get between the screwed on base of the coupling and the copy of the base of the blender.
I tried to file one myself, but the metal was too weak. Because i had the size (from what I filed), I measured and knew i needed a 7 MM wrench. I bought one at the parts store and ground it thin enough to slip into the small space and from there it was a five minute job.

Very easy. Enclosed instructions were excellent! Part arrived early than anticipated, also.

A very flat wrench or needle nose pliers was needed. I could not get the nut unscrewed with what I had so I had to mail the unit to a service center for repair. They were able to use the part I had purchased but if I had known I wouldn't be able to do it I could have saved a little money in the shipping I had to pay when I ordered the part.

Remove blender jar to get to drive cog. Use a 1/4 to 3/8 flat open-end wrench to hold cog shaft then turn the cog with your hand CLOCKWISE to loosen. Screw new cog gear on COUNTERCLOCKWISE hand tight. Reassemble your blender and you're good to go. It takes a very thin flat wrench but even if you have to buy a set the're not very expensive. Good luck.

I followed the advice of others who have written their story. It is very important that you know the coupler has a left handed screw pattern. I had to use pliers the entire process to unscrew the coupler and a screw driver through the bottom between the fan blades to hold shaft. I finally had to put the screw driver -gently- as far in as possible in a position that would hold the blade.

The shaft and the coupler are threaded. On could unthread the coupler. But many time it is frozen. The coupler is manufactured out of soft metal center and plastic. If frozen, it can be pried off the shaft using a large screw driver --- per the instructions provided with the part. This worked well with no damage to the blender power shaft. The new coupler was simply screwed on to the shaft and it works fine. The online schematics provided by PartsSelect helped me identify th part, part number and the nomenclature. The part arrive on the west coas in about four day --- very quick service. Thanks, PartSelect. Great job!!!

The bottom of the coupling is threaded so that if you turn it clockwise, it just unscrews. I unscrewed the damaged coupler and screwed the new on back on.

My husband removed the old coupling and installed the new coupling with no difficulty whatsoever. The instructions included were self-explanatory and very easy to follow.

pri off the rubber,, took small center punch..taped coupling in the reverse direction....spun off and spun new one back on. Easy teesy!

Thanks

Rubber coupling is mounted in soft metal. Instructions has the old coupling being pried off its stainless draive shaft with a large screw driver...45 seconds. The threads on the drive shaft weren't hurt. The new coupling was screwed on...15 seconds. Done. 1 minute plus the time to order the part on line.

thanks for the correct part

The part came with instructions, which I followed. I used a flat head screwdriver which I inserted in the space between the coupling and the housing, and applied gentle upward pressure on the drive shaft (by prying the handle downward) while rotating the coupling in a clockwise direction. It was a little hard to prevent the shaft from turning as the coupling was rotated - but after a few tries, the coupling unscrewed all the way off and putting the new one one was a cinch.

First I used two pliers two i unscrew the two prarts
and finally I screw the new part with the blender. Quick and easy with the right tools.

followed directions exactly no need to "unscrew" just pry off with a flathead screwdriver. Easy peasy. And I'm a girl. :)

it went very well, thank you
