hi
there is a ring clamp on top of the main worm follower gear on the drive shaft. you might not see it due to the grease.
you need to get one of those weird little pliers with points on them to spread the ring clamp to remove it. Then the gear is just friction fit on the shaft...it's pretty tight. I carefully used a screwdriver to slowly separate the main follower gear from the lower gear and it goes up the shaft....
after a bit you can wiggle the follower gear by hand and it will come up. Then you can see there is a pin holding the drive gear underneath it in place. The pin in my mixer was actually bent (must have been some tough dough).
then you reverse the process to put the gear back on -- except that the top follower gear has to go on the pin in the right orientation or the ring clamp won't fit.
buy your parts from mendingshed.com
hope it helps.

Hi. Go to the whirlpool.com website, for some insane reason they don't list their mixers, enter a search for mixers, then find your model #. Look for a parts catalog. Look at the "exploded" drawings for the transmission area. There you'll notice that there are Front and Rear bearing locations. This drawing also shows the correct place for the "washer". Also, the front and back bearings may look alike, but the're not. Every part needs to be in it's correct place or damage will occur when you start it up, or when you place the machine under load. Let me guess...The original PLASTIC transmission housing broke causing damage to the worm gear assembly. If this is the case, your replacement transmission housing should be made out of metal. If it isn't, call customer service and demand that they send one. The plastic housing has no place in a Premium priced mixer, especially when they advertise that the mixer can handle heavy bread dough. Finally, check the bearing seats, when the worm gear failed it may have also damaged these seats. It happened on my Kitchenaid. Good Luck!

It could be very easy. It maybe you have a the brush in the
wrong way round or they have simply run out. They are on the sides under the black plastic caps. Although they will fit in the hole any one of 4 ways
round, there is a key on one corner which means it will only go in one
direction. Use a torch to look into the hole before you put it back in.
They shoud look like this : brush
