### Step 2: Inspect and Remove Broken Snap Retainer

Examine the wheel bracket. The OEM retention tab becomes chalky and brittle from caustic detergent. Gently slide a flat screwdriver behind the tab and push toward the wire frame to unclip.

### Step 3: Clean Wire Frame Mounting Node

Wipe any calcium or mineral scale off the stainless steel wire rack node with white vinegar or a scouring pad to ensure smooth wheel rotation.

### Step 4: Snap-fit Heavy-Duty Replacement Assembly

Align the inner axle channel with the rack wire, press firmly until an audible click confirms engagement, then slide the wheel onto the hub. Verify free spinning without wobble.

> **Pro Tip:** Our replacement features a 40% thicker structural flange to eliminate the common breakage at the detergent boundary layer.
