    • Unscrew the screws on each side of the circular discs to remove the circular plastic discs

    • The discs and screws are different, be sure to take note of where they go

    • It is not necessary to proceed to the next step if the plastic drive wheel has been removed

    • According to "Jens" simply turn the plastic drive wheel in the opposite direction of the watch to remove it, while blocking the housing. "Julien" found a YouTube video that shows how to proceed. Start at 7:25. Big thanks to Jens and Julien.

    • It's very hard to loosen the Tx20 screw hidden by the plastic drive wheel. Beware of metal burrs that your finger may catch.

    • I did not manage to remove the drive wheel from its axis

    • Whoever takes the risk can make a hole in the wheel. I did not have the courage.

    • I made a special tool -> See next.

    Aucun problème : j’ai percé un petit trou pour ensuite passer le tournevis et dévisser la vis

    • I modified an open end wrench to drive a Tx20 bit

    • A slot has been made to facilitate the reassembly of the screw

    Bei meiner KVC50 konnte ich das große Kunststoffzahnrad mit einem schlanken 13er Gabelschlüssel, mit dem ich die Mutter unter dem Zahnrad gehalten habe, und einem 20er Gabelschlüssel von oben abschrauben.

    • Remove the guides (red mark). They can be reassembled after closing the housing

    • Remove the seal. I replaced it with silicone similar to what is used in the bathroom.

    • The former one has a cross fromation.

    • The new one has a bayonet tool port. The beater and the whip are in the same position relative to the bowl.

    • The width of the toothed wheel does not seem to have any difference.

    The toothed wheel is riveted onto the tool port, so it can not be disassembled further.

    • There is a lot of greasein the case. Spread the grease on the surfaces that need it.

    • Replace the seal. See step 8.

    • Set the machine up with the arm in a horizontal position. The shaft of the will fall if the arm is raised

    • Gently slide the two parts into each other.

    • The screws were loose during disassembly. I fixed them with a drop of screw fixation solution.

    • Reinsert the guides to the original positions

    • Screw the hidden screw back in

    • Tighten with the special tool of step 7

non mais les vieux ustensiles ne sont pas compatible avec le nouvelle axe

Ce tutoriel est très utile pour démontrer un model similaire (le KM070)

Merci c’est très utile. Pour enlever la vis T20 sous la roue d’entraînement j’ai utilisé une clé torx à angle droit du commerce. Pour la remonter un petit trou de 8 sur le dessus de la roue pour passer la clé sans rien affaiblir. Pour le joint je pense que le silicone n’est pas judicieux car on ne pourra plus le démonter . J’ai opté pour un mastic de plombier genre Gebajoint.

J'ai pris l'option de percer la grande roue crantée. J'y suis allez doucement et c'est ok pour enlever la vis

Bernard Frise -
