No rotation on mixer
You tube has great instructions! I would suggest when you buy a part to let customer know that they need a food grade gear grease ordered to complete the reinstall of all gears and body parts!

The mixer broke the worm gear(the only plastic gear inside the mixer) and needed replaced.
I took apart the mixer housing and removed all the screws. The most difficult part was the two pins that needed to be removed with a metal punch. They were in fairly tight. The mixer came apart pretty easily and it was obvious which part needed to be replaced as it was broken and missing teeth. After replacing the gear and applying new grease for smooth operation, I simply put it back together and it has worked like new ever since.

Damaged gears in both machines. Been setting around for a few years broken. Gears broke way too soon.
Simply removed damaged gears. Very simple to do. Ordered gears. Replaced gears. Both working well ( so far. ) Machines are easy to dismantle. Just be sure to put the screws back in the holes you took them out of when dismantling...no lost screws. On the smaller model, took pictures of the wire positions to be sure they were replaced in the proper order. Larger model had no wires to remove.

Splash from K45 KitchenAid Mixer Bowl
The shield works sufficiently. Note that the shield is not a continuous circle as shown in the picture. This actually can be an asset because it can be installed or disassembled without stopping the mixer of having to lift the head while running.

Burnt brushes
The brushes are located on each side of the tilt head of the mixer. I used a screwdriver to remove the screws, removed the brushes & replaced with the new ones. Runs great again!!
