Basically, what is happening is that I can push the planetary on, but there seems to be too much play with the shaft, so that it will not push down far enough for me to use a screwdriver tip to pry the shaft down the rest of the way. In other words, I cannot see the roll pin hole at all.
If it is assembled properly there is not a lot I can think of to cause that problem. Sometimes pushing the hub on can move the shaft up, I would normally whack the hub up to shock the hub on a bit at a time until the shaft is beginning to appear out of the hub hole. You need to have the shaft hole roughly aligned with the hub pin holes or you'll have no hope. Sometimes the pin hole in the shaft can have a burr that will grip the hub, a file fixes that.

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.

hope it helps.

you need to remove all the back screws then if it doesnt come tap it with arubber mallet it may be seized on

Remove the back housing by removing one screw and liftingand pulling rearward.
Remove two screws holding the metalic edge trim. This uncovers the seam. Screws are on the back.
Remove four visible screws from the bottom of the head around and near the pillar.
Now gently using a screw driver, push the metallic ring on the mixing head down and off.
This uncovers five more screws about the mixing head. Remove them.
Using a very small screw driver or punch, puch the pin out of the mixing head shaft.
Remove the mixing head housing.
Lift up on the motor housing to remove it.
The motor/gear housing is the top protion of the mixer. Its loaded with grease so do this over a covered countertop or some place easy to clean. The grease won't run, but it can fall out in gobs.
Make sure all sealing surfaces are clean, especially the gasket around the gears. This will insure a good seal. No gear grease in your famous cookies!
Reinstall in reverse.

I had the same issue. I just finished tearing mine apart only to find that the lock just wasn't engaging with a slot in the base of the mixer. Try lifting up the head of the mixer to expose the height adjust screw in the hinge between the base and the head. By tightening mine down a couple of turns, the lock can engage the slot again and the lock works. You may have to do a little tweaking to find the right balance between height adjustment and latch functionality, but at least you won't have to tear your mixer apart like I did!

Hi DENISE, by the symptoms you describe it appears that
it’s time to adjust your mixer’s Beater to Bowl Clearance adjustment screw, or head
locking mechanism (or a component) of it is worn or loosened due to normal wear
and tear and needs to be readjusted (or repaired) to keep your mixer head
stationery and level.
The
instructions for adjusting your beater to bowl clearance are located in your
Owners Manual. If you don’t have the
original manual you can easily download a PDF version of your Owners Manual
from the KA website: (http://www.kitchenaid.com/flash.cmd?/#/page/home).
Click
on Customer Care>Locate Manuals&
Guides> and enter the 6 character model number, in your case KSM150 and
select the file listed for your model that
appears under Owners Manuals (66) KSM150PSER1.pdf (732.33
KB) and save that file to your PC. Turn to Page 14 and you will find the
instructions for adjusting the mixer head height.
But
to save you some time, I have extracted the instructions below:
Beater
to Bowl Clearance
Your mixer is adjusted at the factory so that the flat beater just clears the
bottom of the bowl. If for any reason, the flat beater hits the bottom of the
bowl or is too far away from the bowl, clearance
Tilt-Head
models
• Unplug mixer.
• Lift motor head.
• Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise flat beater or
clockwise (right) to lower flat beater.
• Make adjustment with flat beater, so it just clears surface of bowl.
If you over adjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock into place.
If the above doesn’t correct your problem, then you
need to look at the Link & Lever Latch assembly. If you don’t have your parts list manual,
select the file KSM150PSWH0.pdf (773.44 KB)
listed under the Parts List Manual (61).
The manual
provides an exploded view for the disassembly and reassembly of your mixer,
along with all the part names and numbers.
Turn to page5, titled: Base and Pedestal Unit. You’ll want to focus on Illus. #11, Link
& Lever Latch assembly, and the related components, which locks the mixer
head to the pedestal when you run the mixer. Check to see if something is just
loose, exceedingly worn or broken. If
something has broken, you can order replacement parts and install
yourself.
Here
are five potential vendors in no particular order: RepairClinic.com;
mendingshed.com; searspartsdirect.com; partstore.com; and Grainger.com. Prices can vary widely between vendors, so do
your comparison shopping.
Also,
while your mixer is apart it would be ideal to check for any other unseemly
wear and tear on the gears, etc. It can
be messy but quite gratifying to diagnose and repair your KA mixer yourself.
Finally,
here are some links to several excellent websites that detail the
disassembling/reassembly of a KA Mixer.
Between
these three websites and their excellent pictures and descriptions and your
Parts List manual, you should now be able to completely disassemble, repair,
and reassemble your mixer.
Finally,
if you feel this is beyond your capabilities and will be too difficult to do by
yourself you can take your mixer to a local small appliance repair shop and
have them troubleshoot and fix your mixer. KA Customer Care can provide you
with the name and phone # of the closest authorized KA repair shop in your area
or you can do a Online web search, but be sure to get at least three estimates
before deciding to commit to one repair shop.
Good luck. I hope
this helps. Howard, Burke, VA

Turn screw (A) SLIGHTLY counter clockwise (left) to raise the flat
beater or clockwise (right) to lower the flat beater
2. Check the Beater Shaft (Agitator Shaft) making sure the Retaining ring
is flushed with the surface of the Planetary Assembly
Constant Pulling and Removal of the beaters can cause the Agitator shaft to move
3. If the above two still don't solve your problem, follow the service manual
directions to disassemble the Planetary Assembly and check for loose screws
