This OEM authentic part is to be used in stand mixers made by KitchenAid and Whirlpool. It is an important part of the mechanism that drives the beaters. The gear is made of metal, unfortunately, over time the teeth may wear out. Worn gears may not spin at the proper RPM, if it spins at all, so replacing the gear will help bring the mixer\'s performance to like-new levels. This part is sold as an individual item. Please refer to the owner\'s manual and diagrams of your model to ensure the proper installation. Note, when replacing this part, to help reduce friction, planetary grease is required.

I removed the pin finally after struggling for two hours. I cleaned and removed all the old grease and replaced the gear and replaced the new gear and new grease and seal. After sealing it back, mixer worked like a champ again.
I exchanged the pliers for a better quality set (19.99) and will be repairing our second mixer, the pin came off in less than 5 seconds with the right pliers.
Thank you for having the parts available. Your customer service rep was top notch help.
