L for Model Number K45SSWH I need to remove the top cover so I can replace grease. The instructions suppled by appliance parts covers 16 steps. Step # 3 says to tap pin out of pin hole. I can see no pin or hole to tap it out of. My mixer is somewhere between 20 and 25 years old.
Answer L, the pin that the step may be talking about would be the hinge pin that is connecting the motor assembly to the pedestal. The steps will be as follows: 1. Remove the back motor cover. 2. Remove the trim band. 3. Set the unit upside down to loosen the hinge pin set screw located in the neck of the pedestal. 4. Tap pin located at where the neck of the pedestal meets the motor (around 2" above the end of the pedestal neck while it is upside down). 4. Remove the drip ring by gently tapping it. 5. Remove the groove pin holding the planetary to the vertical shaft center (located at the center of the assembly that the mixer attachments connect to). 6. Use two screwdrivers to pry the planetary off from the center shaft. 7. Remove the screws holding the inner gear and bottom housing. Then use a drift punch to lift up on the center shaft while using a flathead screwdriver in one of the gearcase slots. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, January 14, 2020
