lower spray arm needs replacing. got a replacement and bearing ring. looks like the spray arm connects to the outlet via a shaft through the center. is this shaft a separate part, can't find it on the diagram? or is it the nylon radial bearing ring shown on the diagram?

Just remove the plastic nut holding the spray arm in, and replace spray arm.

there seems to be a shaft or maybe the nylon bearing ring that is broken, because there's nothing to tighten the plastic nut on. Suggetions???

You will need to pull the housing off that supports the spray arm and inspect for stripped threads that the nut goes on.

The spray arm sits on the Housing (AP2904413). 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.

Your spray arm is retained with a plastic nut that screws on the upper housing.
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.
