It does fit older mixers
By Rain
I have a K45 KitchenAid mixer that was purchased in 1976 . It works fine except the base that the bowl fits into finally stripped out and was unusable. I read a review that said this piece would not fit an older mixer . The instructions from KitchenAid were to use a rubber mallet to set the piece into the hole. The person tried it but could not get the piece to fit .I am writing to report it does fit but you really have to hit it hard with a rubber mallet . You can not be gentle . Don't worry it can handle it .

Despite KitchenAid support claims, does not fit older mixers!
By Liz
I have a 32.5 year old KitchenAid K45 stand mixer. In all these years, the motor has never failed, but the screw cap kit has become loosened.
I consulted the manual for my mixer to see that it has part number 4162529 for its screw cap kit. KitchenAid no longer makes this, but they claim that this new part--part number 4163032--replaces it and fits all old mixers. This is NOT the case. It is about 2 millimeters too wide on the diameter, and no matter how many times KitchenAid support told me to try banging it in with a rubber mallet, it just doesn't fit.
Do NOT buy this item if you have an old K45 with part 4162529 (mine has writing that says Hobart Mfg. Co. on the screw cap among other information if you can't find the part number) because it does not fit no matter how many times they tell you it will. Fortunately, you can bend the tabs back so the bowls are still tight with a lot of effort. This is currently the ONLY way you can fix your mixer.

By H. KITE
The bowl on my Kitchenaid mixer started slipping as I was mixing. I thought I would need to buy a new bowl until I saw this product on amazon. I realized it was the plate that had been stripped and not my bowl. So, this was a much cheaper fix. It was very easy to replace the old plate with this one. There are only 3 phillips screws involved.
