Worm gear had stripped so changed out several gears and parts
Opened the gear housing and removed all gears. Cleaned out all grease. Biggest issue was getting the retaining ring; very tight. Gears were difficult to pull easily. In replacing gears they did not sit easily and took a little rubber hammer to re position worm and upper gear. Be sure to have the right grease for food devices and don’t under grease. And have patience of which I have a short supply.

Plastic gear housing breaking
Very happy to find that the new gear housing was metal, not plastic. The whole problem was poor design of plastic to hold metal gears. Removed housing held down by four screws, removed two gears that were damaged. Retaining ring was difficult to remove from retaining slot. New gears replaced the old ones, new retaining ring put in place, new grease packed into all gearing, new stronger metal housing put in place and the Kitchenaid industrial mixer is better than new. Very happy with the parts I purchased.
