Force and a torch is your path.
First cut a block of wood that is of a length that is long enough to go from the column to the attachment portion of the planetary. (The block protects the gears from the force.)
Look at the rotation of the hook, you're going to twist it the opposite direction. Above the hook, loop a strand of a wet towel. While keeping the towel damp, not wet, torch the **** out of the hook. I recommend "mapp" gas. Heat it for about 90 seconds to to 2 minutes. The old dough stuck inside will burn off. You should get some black smoke. Use the block of wood, between the attachment portion of the planetary and the column, to resist the twist of the hook. If the wood is properly placed to absorb the load --- dampen towel, torch, block, TWIST. If you use a wrench -- be cautious. Good luck -- Mike

Help me figure out how to remove a stuck dough hook. Older model Hobart commercial Mixer.
Is there any way to do this without a torch? I was thinking about using a pipe wrench as counterforce.
