It is common for the shaft to separate from the support on KA's. I'd suggest a new wash arm support rather than trying to use an epoxy to hold the old shaft in place. Plus, I've also heard recommendations from others on this board that the plastic bearings tend to wear better on the wash arm than the original bronze bearing units.
Great save, BTW! Love the original literature and sales receipt!

My Father used to take me to Miron Lumber in Kingston(we might have been there on the day that invoice was written up); while he bought wood and nails for his never ending projects, I got to spend time in their appliance department looking at Hotpoint washers and KitchenAid dishwashers. Great place, great town.
