5KSB52ETG5 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.

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.

Just took a screwdriver and pried off the broken coupling as the instruction said with the part. Don't stress it really works and is easy. Ordered the part on Monday and recieved it on Tuesday. Great service from Partselect!

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

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!!!

With a set of pliers, I was able to lift up the metal part of the coupling and the new coupling was just inserted and screwed onto the part holding the coupling. Easiest thing I have ever done. Started to throw the blender away and realized that I could order that particular part.. So easy and received in mail two days later. Can't beat that..

I used the instructions you provided. I pried the old coupling off of the drive shaft with the screw driver, placed the new coupling on the shaft, tightened(left-hand thread). And I was through.

just lift the coupling drive about three times with a screw driver then it got loose, place the new one that you sent me with my own fingers and presto that was it.

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.

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.

I have to disagree with several other feedbacks. The instructions included with the part WERE EXCELLENT and direct the user to "pry" the old attachment plate off the drive shaft. Because the plate is made of aluminum and the shaft is steel, this took about 1 minute to accomplish with absolutely no damage to the shaft. Clean the threads with a paper towel. It took about 30 seconds to install the new part. I didn't need to find and/or make any special tools.

Placed screwdriver under the coupler pushed up, turned and unscrewed old coupler and rescrewed on the new coupler. Very simple, Thank You!!
