Suggetions???

In the center of the Housing, it looks like there is a shaft of some sort that the nut goes on; it is broken off. From the diagram, it looks like the Nylon Radial Bearing Ring. Is this it? Nothing else seems to be brken.

It is not shown on the diagrams so just call and appliancepartspros will know what part to get. Make sure your upper housing threads are ok, otherwise order that too.
