KSB5SSOB4 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.

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.

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!!!

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.

unscrewed old and screwed on new.

I removed the worn out coupling, leaving the metal base. Then I took a flat head screwdriver and pried around the metal base, turned it counter-clockwise per the directions included in the new part and it popped right off. Then I just popped the new one on - very easy! Took about seven minutes.

Took a screwdriver lifted up the coupling , kept turning, it came off, screwed the new one in, took 5 minutes,

It was the easiest repair ever, I am a lady and I did it all by myself

Thanks

I hold with the needle noose the drive shaft and pull the rubber coupling and unscrew it. To put the new one so simple screw on and that it

Followed the instructions except I did not pry the part off. I used a small metric wrench and ground down the wrench until it fit under the drive to hold the shaft. Other than that a 5 minute fix.

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 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!!

pretty much followed the instructions, (bent the old broken coupling up with screwdriver, unscrewed it, and then screwed the new one on)...though getting the broken coupling off was a little tougher than the instructions made it seem...once the coupling was off, it unscewed easily and the new one went on, no problem!
