Worm gear was stripped and needed to be replaced
I am not handy, but was able to follow this YouTube video and do this repair easily and successfully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QsgPIL9FpA
I did take the mixer apart first to verify that the worm gear was the issue, then ordered the part from you site. I received it quickly and was able to do the repair and get back to mixing in a few days!

Leaking Grease
First i went to the Kitchen Aid web site and found a video on how to take a part the mixer. Followed the instructions from the video and it was very easy. The grease in the machine was black so i cleaned it out of the transmission and repack it with hi-heat wheel bearing grease that i got from a auto parts store it took about a 1/2 lb. then put the gasket in and back together and put the o-ring on. Have run for awhile and it is ok. Want to say that these are very well built machine.

Attachment hub stopped spinning
Used youtube movies to disassemble the mixer and found that the gear was stripped. I kept the screws in labeled ziploc baggies so I wouldn't forget which screws went where. Once the part arrived, it was very simple to replace the gear. I regreased the mixer and then reassembled. The trickiest part was how greasy everything was! It was also hard to get the pin through the beater hub - I found a video that suggested using a very slim screwdriver to thread the hole before inserting the pin. This was the most involved part replacement I've done on my own, and it was very satisfying to get my mixer back in working order!

My stand mixer stopped mixing!
I watched a YouTube video all the way through, then watched each segment and followed along with the video. It was messier than the professional repair guy, but it worked out fine. This is not a difficult repair when you can watch a video and follow along. It saved me about $130.

Spring latch snapped off making bowl unstable and unless hand stabilized wobbled too much to use.
SO SIMPLE!!!!! Using a regular screwdriver, remove the remains of the Spring Latch. Place new one over holes and screw new one in place using the currently used screws. May wash off screws first if caked with gunk. OMG!!! TOOOO easy and saved me from throwing out a very terrific 40 year old PRO LINE KITCHEN AID MIXER!! To replace it would have been hundreds of dollars.

Motor surges at some speeds
Tried new brushes but alas it looks like it was a controller. Wife needed it asap so Ii bought her a new one. Service and delivery were quick but couldn't wait for a second part to try and repair it again.

I noticed that the Initials on the package indicated that the part was made in CI. That was the problem.
I decided to update the motor brushes in our KitchenA id mixer even though it operated perfectly for years. After installing the motor brushes, you sent,I plugged the cord attached to the mixer into the outlet. I selected 1 on the speed selector and nothing occurred. The mixer would not operate. I then checked the outlet to insure there was voltage present; there was voltage present. I again plugged the cord of the mixer into the outlet, selected 1, then 5, and finally 10, with no results. The mixer would not operate. Finally, I removed the motor brushes I had received from you and installed the old brushes that were originally in the mixer, plugged it in the outlet, selected 1 and the mixer operated perfectly as it did BEFORE installing the brushes you sent.

Damaged the worm gear in our 300w mixer.
After stalling the mixer while mixing dough I found that the motor still functioned but the blade didn't move. I basically took the mixer into my shop along with a digital camera to record any complicated disassembly procedure I might have to deal with for reassembly and proceeded to disassemble the mixer. Once apart, I cleaned the mixer parts, removed the broken worm gear and bracket, and got online for someone that carried the replacement piece. PartSelect sent the replacement within 3 days and now it works great again.

Spring Latch broken
Take off the old one, put on the new one--start kneadin' bread. Finding a screw driver was the hard part.
