Water leaking from front door of dishwasher
Took less than 5 minutes. Pried edge of old door seal out with a flathead screwdriver, then slowly pulled out old seal. Thoroughly cleaned area for new seal with rubbing alcohol, inserted new seal and trimmed the end to fit just right. Presto, no leaks whatsoever!

Broken wheels on lower rack
This problem was making me NUTS! Every time I pulled the lower rack out, the rack would go off the track, threatening to break every dish, and I would literally have to half-carry the rack to move it in and out. VERY frustrating. No money for a new dishwasher, didn't want to pay for a whole new lower rack ($100). Then I discovered I could simply replace the wheel assemblies for less than $30 and no toold required. Yee-hah! It was literally a SNAP!

3 of 8 wheels had broken off bottom rack.
Piece of cake. Unsnapped the old parts, studied the new ones for a minute to orient myself, and snapped them on. Not quite as simple a twist as the old ones took, but no problem once they were lined up properly. Total time, about 5 minutes or less.

broken roller wheels
Loading and unloading the dishwasher can be a pain if the rollers are not aligned or falling off. This part was easy to install even though it didn't exactly match the original (very old) dishwasher parts.

Screws on the door of the dishwasher were very loose.

Water Seeping From Under/Around The Door
I opened the door and pulled the gasket from around the dishwasher. The gasket does not have any adhesive around it, so it pulled free almost immediately. The new gasket was pressed into place around the door and I was done. It couldn't have been any easier. I suspected it was the gasket when I saw pinched portions that did not return to the original shape and there were no visible cracks in the machine.
