You need a small steel hammer and a pin punch. Do not try to drive
out the Groove Pin any other way (i.e. don't force it out with a regular
size hammer and a screwdriver), you will only damage the Planetary plate
and/or the Agitator shaft. Lay your mixer down on the floor and support
the Beater shaft with a wooden block before driving the Groove Pin out.
The Planetary plate comes attached to the shaft from the factory. It is not supposed to get loose and come apart but it often does due to the mixer's vibrations and the user's constant attaching and removals of the flat beater, wire whip or dough hook onto the beater shaft. Try to remove the Planetary plate first : Gently rock it from side to side while pulling on it to separate from the shaft. Notice the groves on both the shaft and inside the planetary housing. That is how they are attached to one another at the factory (just friction, no screws or pins). Now for a permanent solution: Take a trip to Home Depot or Ace hardware and buy the J-B Industro Weld Compound (Not the 5 minute type). Mix an equal amount from both tubes (Black and Red). Use a Q-Tip and apply a thin layer of the mixture on both the shaft (grooved section) and inside the planetary housing. Now re-attach the planetary plate to the shaft. Use a long strip of duct tape to hold the plate in place (to prevent it from falling back out). Allow the epoxy to dry overnight or at least for 8 hours. The Planetary assembly is now permanently attached to the shaft of the mixer.

As far as locking the gearhead, no, at least not without taking the planetary off of the mixer shaft. You would have to take the chrome ring loose by prying down gently, and there is a pin holding the planetary to the shaft, a punch would need to be used to drive it out, then you should be able to work it off the shaft and make the whole planetary easier to work on. The only other thing you could do would be to use a penetrant spray, wd-40 or something similar, let it settle into the attachment area, and try some more, sometimes it just takes time, and repeated application to free up.
Hi Phyllis. Unplug the mixer, lay it down on one side and look for the pin that holds the planetary shaft in place next to (where you attach beater). The pin may have worked itself loose. If this pin is not all the way through it's opening, the shaft will not turn the planetary unit. Hopefully the pin did not come all the way out and you can tap it back in. If the pin is gone, It's in one of your cookies and hopfully you'll find it before anybody else does. Hope this helps. Ricardok45.
I just ran into this problem when the PLASTIC worm gear broke and then the mixer would not power on after I replaced the gear. The problem was due to the was I tried to dissasemble the mixer. I removed the two plastic screws near the top center of the mixer when attempting to disassemble. These do not have anything to do with the assembly it turns out the attached square pieces (attached to these screws by springs) must be in the proper orientation to run. I put them in the way it showed in a diagram but it did not work until I tried all four different combinations that they could be rotated. Two of the rotations on the square could be eliminated by closely looking at the end where it contacts the shaft. The round shaft marking will be evident on the square inserts. I'mnotsure how to better describe them, but the are attached by springs to the plastic screws on both sides of the top of the mixer.
