KSB5WW4 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

Thanks to everyone before me and their stories!
I felt confident enough to try repairing my blender myself ! ! !
I just placed a flat head screw driver under the coupler and pushed up on the screw driver, 3 or 4 more times around the coupler. It broke away and a metal disc was left, which I unscrewed and I just screwed the new ... Read more coupler on.
Thanks Again!

Followed the directions and used a screwdriver to pry off the old gear. Screwed the new one on - reverse thread. Easy as that.

used thin wire strippers to hold screw shat, than unscrewed one and screwed on the other. done

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.

I unscrewed the old coupling and screwed on the new coupling from Partselect.
This was a personal repair job.
However, I am a local Handyman in Northern NJ that does a ton of minor repairs. For all of my appliance part needs I will buy from Partselect.com. They under promised and over delivered! Just incase you dont know what I ... Read more mean by that statement,,, I ordered the blender part, they told me I would have it in 6-10 days (which was acceptable to me) and I had it in two days... AWESOME job FOLKS!!!!!!!

Piece of cake. Part was expensive and shipping likewise. Very fast

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.

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.

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

Followed the instructions that came with the replacement drive coupler, first removeing the old part using a screw driver, and then easily screwed on the new part. Removing the old part without the aid of the instructions would have been problematic.

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 ... Read more buy a new $150 blender.

It was harder than the directions said to get the old drive coupling off, but once the old was taken off, it was a piece of cake to put the new one on.

Thanks, great service from this website, received my part the next day after I ordered it!

Using the precise instructions provided by parts select, I used a big screw driver and pried off the old coupler and cleaned the area and screwed on the new coupler. Fixed!

The part finally arrived 3 weeks later, after being out of stock and back ordered a couple times.

I repaired it as per instructions provided by using a flat head screwdriver to pry the original off.
