All rollers missing on lower rack of dishwasher

The brackets that held the original wheels were still on the rack. They were easily pulled off the rack. The new assembly did not look like the original part. It was not difficult to see how they fit onto the rack. The only caution is to press the top part of the new assembly onto the frame before snapping the rest of the new piece into place.

The rubber around the cap assembly was torn

I pulled the basket out, pulled the cap and connector assembly off with ease, no tools needed, it comes right up, and put the new one on. Put the basket back in and it works great now!
