You just need to get the rail out, just enough to where you can install the rack stops. Now it is time to put the racks back in, so go ahead and slide the rails out and start the installation by putting one wheel on one side and then you can do the other end of the rack, now push the rack all the way to the back firmly. It needs to be snug, if not this could cause leaks and it’s normal to see about an 8 of an inch space between the nut and the top of the tub.

To remove the upper spray arm you will need to remove the large nut that is holding it in place, to remove it you will need to turn the nut in a counter clockwise direction and this will unscrew it from the inlet tube that it is connected to.
