Removed the lower sprayer by twisting it off, then removed the four screws holding the water flow housing cap, removed the remaining pieces of the old seal, slipped the new seal on, and replaced the cap and sprayer.

Problem
Dishwasher leaving white residue on dishes in upper rack. Soap left in dispenser. Heard a whining noise.
Tools
Nut-driver.
Repair & Advice
For some time we noticed dishwasher leaving white residue on dishes in upper rack and soap left in dispenser. After a while we heard a strange high-pitched whine when it was running. Thought pump was cavitating or something was stuck in it. I removed the lower spray arm and the four screws holding the cover below it. When I lifted that part off it also opened the joint in the conduit (flat pipe) on the back of the inside of the dishwasher. That supplies water to the upper spray arms. The rubber gasket in the joint was split. We realized that the sound was water rushing through the split in the rubber gasket. Subsequently the pressure to the upper spray arms was diminished, causing the dishes not to rinse properly and not enough water to wash down over the soap dispenser to properly clear it. Problem fixed in 5 minutes, but based on the condition of the gasket and the way that it failed I expect this part to fail again so I bought an extra.
