How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6007401 / WP240309-2 Worm Gear And Bracket Assembly

Removed all decorative bands. Punched pin out of beater drive. Removed all screws and pulled top off. Cleaned the excess grease away and removed the stripped worm gear. Installed new one and reassembled. 

I simply took my wife's kitchenaid mixer apart to determine which gear had failed. Once I diagnosed the failure, it was easy to find the right parts on the website to make the repair. 

I ordered a worm gear bracket and my husband installed it being very careful and now I have my Kitchenaid mixer back. I so enjoy and love my mixer.
