5KSB52SGR5 KitchenAid Blender - Instructions

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.

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.

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.

Directions included with replacement part were no help...maybe I'm stupid, but prying up on a threaded metal part didn't help unthread it at all.
Vise grips solved the problem. I used vise grips to remove the rubber from the coupler while it was still attached to the blender base, exposing the metal base to the coupler. (yes, I used vise grips to destroy the damaged coupler. after all the hell I went through to try to do it as the directions said, it was very satisfying.)
After removing the rubber, I used the vise grips to bend and distort the metal base until I could get a pair of needle-nose pliers around the drive shaft and hold it still while I unscrewed the now bent-up metal base. Victory!
I thoroughly recommend this method to anyone else, as using vise grips to destroy something is very gratifying.

Read provided instructions but unfortunately looked at part and re-interpeted the instructions....Should have just followed instructions as printed. I tried to pry up and unscrew instead f just prying off...

Followed instruction sheet, but as it stated just remove by hand, not so, had to grind open end wrench to fit between coupler and base to fit flat sides of shaft, then use channel locks to break lose and to unscrew most of the way off.
But in the end the part worked just fine.

it need a special tool...to remove the broken coupleing..had to have my brother-in-law who fixes industrial equipment, remove it with a special tool, that a home owner would not have

Tried to follow the included instructions - no way that just prying the coupler off would work without bending the shaft and wrecking the threads! Then used a flat, open-ended 7mm wrench to hold the shaft and pliers to remove the coupling. The coupler was so tight that I could not unscrew it without the wrench slipping. Ended up shoving a screwdriver through the fanblade from the bottom (unplug it first!) and use the pliers to unscrew the coupler (remember, it's a left handed thread!)

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.

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!!!

I just followed the instructions that came with the part I ordered and received very fast.

Great, just followed the video you provided and when the part arrived I was done in about 15 seconds.

Used needle nose pliers to hold shaft, turned coupler counter clockwise, it came off easy. Screwed the new coupler on. Thanks
