Mend KitchenAid K5M90WH Mixer Leaking Head

kitchenaid mixer model k5m90wh?

kitchenaid mixer model k5m90wh is having some old leaking around the head of the mixer. Removed a couple screws under the head and some oil is there too. Do I need to take the unit apart and re-grease the bearings.?

You need to take the mixer apart and replace the grease and the gearbox gasket.

KitchenAid uses a vegetable based grease in their mixers, the grease can break down over time, especially if you do not us the mixer often. When the grease breaks down it can leak out of the mixer.

Here is a link to the replacement grease: http://www.mendingshed.com/kagrease.html
Here is a link to the gearbox gasket:http://www.mendingshed.com/mixergasket.html

And here is a link to the service manual which will aid you in taking the mixer apart and putting it back together. http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mendingshed/kitchenaidservicemanual.pdf
